I’m going to be honest, the whole blackout seemed pretty ineffective.
Also lmao at people complaining about the UI of Lemmy - did they fully expect a finished polished website to just be ready for us to migrate to?
sensiblepuffinA 2 day blackout was never going to do anything. I'm a little disappointed that we (r/gunners) aren't extending it indefinitely. But it seemed like there wasn't quite enough popular support for it.
And yeah, that's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Turns out it costs time and money to build a site like reddit. Although honestly, most of the features that I personally miss are from apps like Reddit is fun or RES. Not so much from the main Reddit interface.
BabaDudaIt's interesting how c/gunners has turned out to be one of the more active communities I'm a part of in Lemmy, looks like there's been enough of us who jumped ship (or at least tested the waters)
I kind of wish we had made it a 4 day blackout, just so it would encompass the beginning of the transfer window. We'd beat out every other Lemmy community no problem with the Rice memes alone
MHPengwingzIt should've been indefinite. It's also laughable that people think the Lemmy instance is a power grab, it's merely an alternative. As if people don't like to have an alternative.
