I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.
I might be out of the loop a bit but I’ve noticed lots of John Oliver posts in recent days - has he been vocal about the Reddit/Spez debacle?
Reddit threatened to remove mods from subreddit if they did not reopen. So in malicious compliance the reopened but changed the rules to only allow John Oliver posts. /r/pics started it at first I think.
John Oliver is also known for calling out corporate bullshit on his show so I’d imagine there is some intentional symbolism there.
