Now that the two day shutting down of many thousands of subreddits is over, what is happening now? How many are remaining closed? Are others just going back to normal? What is the prospects of any significant change happening now?
I’ve set my pihole to reject reddit.com and I’m committed to using Lemmy, but I do miss the old Reddit.
I mean I’m trying to stop using Reddit in general because it pisses me off, but IMO the individual users protesting is unlikely to change anything. The real test will be how many mods stay and continue to work well once the change goes into effect.
I think the real litmus will be on July 1, when all the 3pa shut down for good. That’s when it’ll be apparent who is willing to put up with Reddit, and who won’t.
Also fuck the greedy little pigboy, spez.
Be the change you want to see in the world. You can’t tell others what to do but if you feel like protesting is the right thing to do then do it. It might not achieve anything significant but atleast you’re putting your money where your mouth is and that puts you above everyone else who just whines but don’t actually do anything about it.
