Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…

    I’m torn on this. Because a sort of injustice happened. Do we really just ignore enshitification, try to educate others, reflect and keep an eye on the site while trying to understand what happened and not repeat old mistakes? Or just move on with our lives and hope that the injustices sort themselves out?

        Highway pile up that you KNOW you’re not supposed to slow down for and look at because that contributes to the problem but on the other hand we’re only human so of course I wait a hot second before accelerating back to highway speed.

      If you want justice, then you move on and forget Reddit. Otherwise you’re just keeping it afloat and creating free promotion for it.

        When you’re visiting it. Not by discussing it, the downfall, and the lessons learned. I don’t think we have to pretend that we don’t care or that it never happened. I just personally don’t go on the site any more to not feed them traffic.

          Do you know how negative exposure is also fuelling Apple brand recognition? Yeah, you want it dead - ignore it.

      What injustice? Reddit is “their” website and they can do what they want with it, we have always only been allowed to use it for their enrichment. The farmer is always very nice to his animals until its time to cash out.

      Lemmy is hopefully the fix, in that it doesnt need to turn a profit, and we’re not locked in.

      As the child of immigrants, I can tell you that running off and living your life is absolutely a viable strategy, and I’ve spent my whole life trying to underssand what happened so that the same thing doesn’t happen to my family again.

      All that said, it is a website. The planet is broiling around us and the people responsible are not just free, but living like kings.
