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.
Yeah, if anything I’m enjoying watching the way this dumpster fire plays out. I’ll probably hang on for as long as I can and keep using my Relay Pro app until reddit fizzles away on June 30th, then overwrite all my comments or erase my accounts.
What’s happening is for the best. It’s better to just accept that reddit is no longer, and that we can foster real communities within Lemmy that can no longer be taken away from us by CEO’s with micropeens. Power can now be distributed collectively into the fediverse without the need for advertising or data collection. The future of the internet is in the federated internet 😊
