It’s obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It’s a thankless, difficult job that isn’t even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled.

So why stay? Why bother with protests and such when the company has made it clear they don’t value your work or your opinions? Why not just pull out en masse and let the place burn to the ground?

    Probably some form of addiction. I mean, if I didn‘t have this convenient substitute, staying away from Reddit would be more of a struggle for me too.

      Before i discovered kbin, I was trying to use mastodon.social, but it’s not the same. I’ve never really liked twitter and didn’t see the point of it, and I kind of feel the same way about mastodon. But I was trying to come to like it anyway. That didn’t happen. Now I have kbin, and it’s everything i want it to be.

        Same, tweeting has never been my thing, but I loooooove threaded conversations. Did you see Lemmy has a phpbb skin?
