Maybe I’m just cynical, but I feel like everyone cancelling is going to forget about this in a few months when the news cycle moves on and a new Star Wars show comes out or something.

Has a disorganized boycott like this ever worked? (honest question)

A lot of us are only here because we wanted to join a consumer action against Reddit. The first few months I was on Lemmy every post was about how Reddit users were fleeing in droves and we were going to show those big bad corporate clowns over at Reddit not to mess with us and Reddit would collapse within weeks.

Welp. Reddit is doing just fine, so yeah, color me cynical as well. I like it better here though.

Reddit is a wasteland where every informative post is now marked as DELETED by those of us who torched our donated content as we left. It’s full of garbage posts now, and mods who don’t care.

Do they still manage to attract ad revenue, sure, so does X after Musk turned it into a fascist turd bath. Is it as valuable as it used to be? Not by a longshot.
