its over for reddit right now, and this r/place doesnt change it no matter how much traffic they get from this, its temporary, once it ends, it dissapears, so i dont think having some fun will hurt lemmy or will make spez win
Honestly, even if the whole lemmy.world (for example) joins, it won’t matter. The bots and streamers (and their fanbase) alone outnumber us too much for us to even make a dent on their traffic. People here are grossly underestimating the number of bots and reddit users. Like they think because some protestors join it’s suddenly going to drastically shoot their engagement numbers up. Lol.
I agree. I’m just not sure how that relates to what I said (not being snarky - just a bit confused).
There are still some people who are unaware of either spez, the protests, or reddit alternatives. Tbh, i still can’t believe it. Even if they don’t end up leaving, i think it’s important for them to know a bit of history to understand things better when reddit pulls another shit like this (which they will probably do more of after the IPO).
“repressed” would be more fitting as many users are even angry that mods are moderating less strict. They don’t want to hear that it’s gotten more difficult to moderate without the tools, they just want to fuel their addiction and carry on as before.

The average user has already forgotten about the API changes
