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.
Their is an upside to this that people are not seeing, those that choose to willfully stay on reddit, means less of Reddit’s toxicity will seeps it’s way into Lemmy or k.bin. it allows both to grow more organically and foster better relations across the fediverse. (o▽o)
People here are far nicer and it’s a joy to step into a conversation and not feel like you could be jumping into a hornets nest. (((＞＜)))
I do admit it is annoying to see this anger people are having. But we all do feel like that after leaving a big platform that caused so much anger and vitrol. People do need their moment to get it out of their system and perhaps a thread like this is what is needed to get it out of their system before moving further into Lemmy or K.bin. ╮(︶▽︶)╭
