I was so hopeful that Reddit might see reason, but at this point, pigboy can take reddit and stuff it up his spez
This is honestly probably for the best. It’s a really bad idea that we’ve let reddit monopolize niche knowledge

OpenStars, HE will not concede - it's jut not in his nature. There is a remote chance that he could be forcibly evicted by those that he must report to, but it would take a sudden and rather dramatic drop in the quality of content (hahaha I can't even say that with a straight face) amount of money they receive from advertising to make that happen. Thus that is unlikely to happen either.
In any case, does it matter? Now that we've all woken up from the spell - the illusion that things could be both "easy" and free while still being controlled by a for-profit company, just like with wikipedia but without the hassle of it needing donations to continue going forward - why would we ever want to go back, regardless?
ToNIX, I’m petty sure (and hope) that Reddit will slowly die. If a s% of the users creating content that are not bots move to Lemmy of kbin, it’s game over for them eventually.
The only thing that’s quite sad is the amount of information you can find for an insane amount of problems. I hope that everything will get archived somehow.
CoWizard, It's been archived, but I can't find an easy way to browse it. So far I've just been using the web archives plugin and finding a archived version of a page
Panzer517, There should be an Reddit archive community here by now.
chanunnaki, “monopolizing niche knowledge”, that’s a good way of framing. Live & learn… never again

popemichael, Lemmy is so damn good as is wefwef that I just don’t miss Reddit
zav, Havent been on reddit for 24 hours, havent felt the urge to check it either now that I have lemmy tbh
Annoyed_Crabby, 2 weeks for me now 🙃
More so since Sync died
zalack, Since Relay is still working right now I check back once or twice a day.
After being on Kbin for the last couple weeks, it's amazing to me how shitty and toxic Reddit feels in comparison now. I'm basically only going there to check a couple niche subs, then bounce.
I'm also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.
OpenStars, I'm also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.
And therefore I presume getting down-voted. It's not enough that you are offering a helpful alternative, they want to not only be happy miserable in their chosen place, but for all other places to not be allowed to exist either. :-(
zalack, Maybe it's because I ejected the default subs out of my list a long time ago, but I haven't gotten downvotes for it at all
OpenStars, r/RedditAlternatives was definitely filling up with quite the drama, but I'm glad that you managed to avoid it!:-)
Bonifratz, Welcome to the club! I left reddit with the first blackout and haven't used it since. It's been easier than I rhought so I don't plan on ever returning.
JollyTheRancher, Took me like a week to stop the muscle memory of typing reddit.com into the address bar, but, I'm here to stay now.
metaStatic, I got real lucky. I have google earth as my new tab page and would click the home button to get to reddit. Me leaving reddit coincided with firefox removing the home button.
thessnake03, Lemmy fills my internet while pooping needs just fine
kratoz29, It’s him guys, he lost the pooping challenge.
Interesting_Test_814, I was about to say that, you beat me to it
metaStatic, guys, can we possibly go 5 minutes without discussing our pooping habits please?
DrNeurohax, I mean, really? That's the turd time I've seen this mentioned today!
ihavenopeopleskills, We're here now. Welcome to your new home.
