This is a rant post and I apologize but I had to talk about this. Most subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps. Only a handful of subs are going indefinite. I checked the front page for the first time today after leaving the a couple hours before the day of the blackout and what do I see? Subs are up, and comments and upvotes are up to the general average before the blackout.
I checked r/gaming to see their recent post (WHICH HAS OVER 68k UPVOTES), and I see a comment with over 500 upvotes saying in a nutshell, “You guys need to calm down, they’re a company and need to make money”.
Along with a couple other comments saying similar things. Are you fucking serious? You can’t even have the fucking balls to say, “This is a company that has consistently screwed over its users and I need to take a stand and quit my addiction”? You’re just gonna sit and do nothing? Fuck you. You’re no fucking better than u/spez. You’re all a bunch of fucking hypocritical liars for shitting on spez and the admins while talking about how you’re “done” with Reddit and you won’t support this.
Go touch grass you fucking addicted cowards. I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy if it means I don’t have to interact with dumbfucks like you.

For me, and I hope for others, it’s been an eye opening experience. Here from Reddit, I’m excited for all of the possibilities that have just been open to me. I was ignorant to all of this, and it’s a lot of information to take in, learning curve but it’s exciting, and I can’t look away now from the how I was experiencing social networks and the internet before.
And you can see it (in America anyways) in the employment situation. “Screw unions, they protect terrible employees and you can’t get rewarded for being a top employee”. Always thinking about themselves, screw everyone else I want mine.
