Good for them, but the damage is already done. They seeded this place with a lot of users. Will it be enough? Who knows. But Lemmy is probably a looooot further along than if they didn’t shoot them selves in the foot.

This placeo obviously needs to continue with good content and active communities, but at moment I don’t really have the urge to open Reddit they way things are.

I had heard of it, but was like "that's dumb, just use Reddit, there's no reason not to"

They gave me and many others that reason to reconsider
