I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I’m feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other’s are taking it.
For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.
nah, it was the loud, entitled, and obnoxious protesters who chose to react to reddit’s policy change by shutting everything down and throwing feces everywhere. none of them own reddit, but they were able to gatekeep an entire community and the public by shutting down access to subreddits.
i hate to break it to everyone, but reddit isn’t owned by any of you. it has the right to change it’s terms of use.
spez didn’t even blink. all the protesters did was make the last 30 days miserable for everybody.
Yes, reddit is fully within its rights to change its terms.
And it’s users are fully within their rights to decide they no longer want to use the site.
Reddit produces no content itself, it did not create the subs, it does not moderate the subs, and it does not create the content on the subs.
He’ll have plenty to flinch about when the IPO goes down in flames and his site becomes the next MySpace.
