It’s also the reason I don’t play No Man’s Sky(apart from the bait and switch launch).
People don’t play Bethesda games because they are good sims but because they are good RPGs.
If they pivot to a sim/building type game then I don’t think people will like it.
We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.
There’s been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin
and/or lemmy
get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam
.
Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won’t go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.
Reddit as we knew it, already died.
Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.
Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.
This is a worthless post.
mainstream media will discover Lemmy exists.
Mainstream media will 100% catch up more by the reveal of Meta’s Twitter alternative that implements the ActivityPub
protocol.
I had this discussion in here before and I think it’s for the better that the majority doesn’t leave reddit, for both sides.
The vast majority of redditors are lurkers. It’s a small minority that actually care enough to post the content and engange in conversations. Coincidentally, this same minority is the only one that cares enough to leave so I am expecting the most engaging people to migrate to other platforms like this one right here and I expect that Reddit is going to be left with lurkers and no one to drive the communities forward.
Granted, they will still be able to sell ads to lurkers but who cares? That’s not why most of us were in Reddit.
I was there to get more news and educate myself. If that’s gone, I’m gone. I’m happy to do this here, as well.
Yeah I’m out for good.
I have requested the moderation of one familiar community of mine here and intent on putting in the effort here.
I have also contributed to the lemmy github in the form of pull requests.
If reddit doesn’t care about the users I won’t. I will care for something that offers something back to me and the community.
Reddit is going to get so much money when it goes IPO that it couldn’t care less about its users and/or 3rd party devs.
Not in this day and age where me and my grandma have our own.
There are so many, you can’t keep up to date with your hobbies unless you are willing to follow 50 platforms with 60 different UIs and community rules.
I prefer the aggregation of data like fediverse where we can follow topics and not platforms.
