Reddit blackout protest is just like those online petitions. Both are unpredictable about the final results. What are you going to do when you miss r/funny. Use Lemmy? The truth is Reddit admins know there is no alternative. Reddit was ready when Digg 4 happened. I want Reddit to act friendly, but it isn't easy when you take investors' money. They want a return on their investments. It is better to stop using a centralized cloud for everything from SO to Reddit. Let us build independent forums
@nixCraft Can’t say I agree, Reddit has been on a downward spiral for a few years, I tried Lemmy for the first time and it wasn’t half bad. Paired with Mastadon, I think I’m finally ready to ditch the platform entirely. I might be a small minority though.
