“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.
This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I’d say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won’t be back.
The lazy won’t move. Some don’t even know what’s going on. I realize that a large majority of the users are simply that, users. They have no understanding of the backend or the issues going on around them.
Once this site is more popular and easy to use, they’ll move.
Honestly that’s what I might end up doing. I’m staying away for as long as I can for the protest, but I don’t intend on leaving forever tbh. But once Lemmy matures enough I might make a full switch. For now most of the content I like from there is simply not here.

What’s stopping you from making that content, or communities? What are they?

Well everything has to start somewhere. Time for you to become the 1% lol
Nah those fucking 1%ers, they’re ruining the country! /s
Welp, I guess I now have to buy a cat, and an axolotl, and a ferret, and a drawing pad, and a tumblr account, and a 360hz monitor, and a-
