I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.
What are your thoughts?
For me it had a huge impact. Whatever happens with reddit, I am going to stay with lemmy. Lemmy can only get better and if there is an issue as it is federated it can be circumvented; even lemmy can be forked if there are issues with the codebase. With reddit you are only left with hope that it gets better. I choose the option where I have certainty. And besides that, the community is less bot-driven on here.
