    I do like to see it-- and I’m not with all these negative lemmings, a handful of people jumping on Reddit isn’t a big deal since we’re talking millions of users (and by the way it’s healthier for Lemmy to not shun double dippers, not everyone’s communities have migrated).

    Also, having moonlit at a social media company, I can say shortsighted folks do jerk off to engagement metrics, usually traffic and interactions. Doesn’t change a death spiral, and usually more experienced staff know to take it in context (I e. Is it lower than last time) so either you have dumb staff relaying bad information to the top or you have smart staff panicking, quiet quitting, etc.

    In other words, folks need to relax. Reddit will do reddit things; just take comfort that you’re not alone in the fuck spez mentality.

      Another thing I keep forgetting to add is the exposure. I’m honestly shocked at how mamy people are ignorant to the protests. A lot of them don’t even know who spez is. Even if they don’t leave reddit, they’d at least have an idea of what reddit is becoming.

      Would they care? Maybe not. But they can’t even decide for themselves if they don’t even know wtf is going on.

        Right! Although that’s mildly astounding given it was so unavoidable on like, every subreddit. But yeah, I remember seeing out of the loop messages months into the protests. Hell, even local news covered it here. Lol

        I didn’t know or care until I was hit with the wave of questionable bans that seem to be going around.

      There was never more than about 10 of us on the chat. It was an exceedingly small operation with a pretty good impact IMO.
