Unfortunately, reddit has been too long and entrenched in society to “remove” it from our browsers. It is very different from Twitter or another social network. Lemmy is a great project. I hope it works and establishes itself as a real alternative, but it still has a long way to go. Unfortunately, the Reddit/Lemmy format is resource intensive, and that’s the problem with a service like this.
It’s my simple opinion. I support any fediverso project, but reddit, today I think it is irreplaceable.
Thanks to the whole blackout thing and the many amazing apps that came to Lemmy (like Sync that I’m using rn and loving), Lemmy is now good enough to replace Reddit for the new content (at least in my opinion)
But Reddit is not (or at least not only) an “what’s happening now” social network like Twitter and there is a huge amount of old content on it that can still really useful. So I guess that, in the best scenario, we’ll have Reddit and Lemmy cohexist and complement each other :)
Does this reflect how the platform is actually doing or do we just like the circlejerk of wishing they would fail? Because everything I’ve seen says Reddit has been completely unaffected by the changes made and they’re still getting more user signups, engagements and interaction/posts than ever.
Tik Tok also seems to be growing strong.
Twitter is a genuine laughing stalk and is pulling major shit…but everyone still seems to be using it regularly.
Reddit is driven by search traffic and the results got a lot worse since a lot of good posters quit. They lost the content but not the users yet, I think it’s just going to take a long time before they truly see the damage in their traffic statistics!
Form Guerilla force huh. How about we just start with civil disobedience. It’s a good litmus test; most of us here aren’t willing to risk getting arrested for even minor infractions.
Civil disobedience is rarely a productive tool. Unless you already know how the media will cover you (if they will at all), you’re just getting yourself and potential comrades fucked over by the legal system.
The worst (for me) isnt when they don’t use signals at all, but when they use the signal right when they literally turn the steering wheel. This tells me they’ve never taken a minute to think what a turn signal is even actually for.
You should go in tour in the South giving seminars. In NY you will guaruntee get pulled for not signaling a turn or a lane change. In Mississippi, where I am now, the only blinkers are the ones that got hit by accident at the last turn, in a car that’s been going straight for the last 10 miles, with a driver going 15mph under the speed limit getting visibly frustrated trying to figure out what that dadgum ticking noise is. I had a cop almost hit me the other day changing lanes with no blinker.
