Wondered if they might wind up here and want some support.
I think it’s pretty amusing to see the anti protest comments whenever redditors get up in arms about an issue. There’s always this reactive impulse (in some) to downplay it as a tempest in a teapot that’ll never work.
But if Reddit admins are so resistant despite the horrific optics, it must be important. They’re creating terrible sentiment right ahead of IPO. You don’t do that shit unless you have no choice. The fact that massive protests don’t work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.
Besides, sometimes you protest not to change things, but so that shit doesn’t change you. Otherwise you’ll take whatever comes your way and you’ll be dead long before you’ve stopped breathing.
Whoa. That shit’s deep man. I’m totally stealing it.
I stole it too. Megustalations
I arrived a few weeks ago. The place has grown an order of magnitude in just a few weeks, content is starting to appear, and little bugs are being ironed out.
It’s not Reddit and there’s a lot of work to do, but you know what, it’s already grown on me and I don’t even miss Reddit anymore.
Plus, I’m single-handedly populating !AFL for if/when people come across. Who knows, maybe it will boom one day and I’ll be the guy who started it off.
I am always afraid that will back fire and people will be like “look at this weirdo talking to themselves”.
Welcome to all of the new refugees! This place has been awesome so far.
ive only been using it for roughly an hour or so now but it already feels like a place i can gladly call home. I’d love to host my own server at some point but being unfamiliar with linux really hurts. Thats what I think i love most about this whole concept, its like the shard from sword art online. So many “worlds” or “communities” can spring up with the software in place if one lemmy server gets too uppity.
Welcome onboard!
Welcome Reddit refugee! The situation is infuriating for us all. I hope you find this a suitable new home!
I do hope the moderators jump over! They have a place here on Lemmy waiting for them!
Thx alot aer This place feels like home
Good decision. Reddit has made so many bad decisions lately.
I did too. Welcome to us!
People there seem to dont give a flying duck or are unaware whats up. All the communities that seem to carry subs I followed there arent that much active. At least for now - hope that soon this will change. Also, welcome o/
Let’s wait till July 1st, we might see 2nd wave of refugees :)
