It looks to me that they’re basically doing it as a desperate last resort.

I really want a cat

Chocolate except I spilled glue on it

Lemmy

Reddit also had competing communities though like r/tech and r/technology or r/games and r/gaming

Thanks for maintaining the best instance lol

Exactly!! The protest wasn’t solely about the API changes but people were also protesting /u/spez and his blatant lies to try and shift blame onto other people, which he just loves doing

100% agreed, the protest should’ve lasted indefinitely and having it be only 48 hours was such a stupid idea. But like you said the start of the protest was fantastic and it had the potential to really make an impression that people are serious about this.

Why do I keep seeing these four comments everywhere

I think instead of solely talking about Reddit, people are creating communities based off reddit communities like c/tifu or c/mildlyinfuriating and carrying on as usual so I’m hopeful that the same thing won’t happen to lemmy!
