I've seen a few discussions about the "failed" protests and wanted to talk about it (lemmy.world)

So I've seen a few posts regarding news outlets calling the protests a failure, and I don't really think that's the case. The protests have clearly made an impact, especially if the Reddit CEO is willing to oust MODS to reopen subreddits. I truly believe that something has been jump started here on Lemmy, Kbin, and all of the fediverse. What happened on Reddit has simply pushed those already on the fence, or looking for other social media platforms to jump ship. I truly believe the impact is greater than what the media and Reddit in general want us to believe. Something has started here on the fediverse that simply cannot be stopped, all we can do is inform others and show why it's the future of aggregated news boards and social media.

Idc what happens tbh. I mean I care, in that I want everyone to feel the joy I have felt here, but most people aren't like that. And tbh, I really like that this space is still community vibing. It's something that I have personally been looking for, without even knowing it.

I'm curious where this goes, and how reddit and it's users perform once the 30th comes and down the line.

I went over and dropped a couple comments about my feelings and left. Maybe someone will follow.

Yeah, Im pretty happy over here, so for me, the protest was a blazing success.

Yeah, this community feels pretty lively. I hope this keeps up.

I agree. Most people probably don't care about the protest. But I'm curious to see whether the group that does care, and then moves to a fediverse service, contains enough of the content creators that people visit reddit for to make those people also move over.

I really think it'll be noticeable tbh. I've found that almost every post here is interesting. Lots of window dressing over there on reddit.

One thing that always bothered me about reddit was if you weren’t in a thread at the exact right time, you missed out on the conversation. Maybe that’s just me though.

This is certainly what I think will happen. People that want to shout into the digital void or just people not really into digitalized socialization, bumbling around trying to figure everything out (so no truly original content posted) will be left.

IMHO Reddit's prime base was high knowledge digital media surfers. They'll be all gone.

Yeah that's understandable, I've gone scorched earth myself, deleted all of my comments and posts as well as my account and I feel better for it, I just hope others come to those terms and follow suit.

Same here. I effectively left reddit. I deleted the app, only checking their website once a day. Soon I will delete my account entirely. And that will be that.
