    I always though that Reddit admins of all people would understand that “you don’t mess with Reddit”. Well, apparently not …

      Seeing how the vast majority of people stayed and are gladly participating in reddits PR event, I think it’s fair to say that messing with reddit can be fine.

        The strange thing about reddit refugees on Lemmy is that they have this weird sense that the platform they left actually died when they did so. The trith is that the vast majority did not migrate and are happily eating their spoonfed shit.

        When we say it’s dead, we mean what is used to be is dead. But let’s not pretend the site actually died or is no longer working. We can all (justifiably) think it’s a shit filled shell of it’s former self without being in denial.

          I’m a refugee, but I have no illusion about my value to Reddit (or how much my absence will be noticed - barely at all if at all)

          I think, for some of us, it’s not like “the platform will die”; it’s “I left the circus. No longer my deal”. Thrive, falter … it’s no longer our business; and that’s freeing.

          A quick reminder to everyone that MySpace still exists.

          Just because the link doesn’t 404 doesn’t mean that something ain’t dying or dead.

            They’ve been propping up Myspace’s corpse like Weekend at Bernie’s since 2008. I feel like they’re trying to do the same thing now with the new version WinAmp. They’re dead to me.

          Just like digg is still “working”, dying takes time.
