Agreed. Using reddit's greatest strength (user base size) against itself is the key to bringing it down.
Plus, overall reddit interaction has barely gone down. Daily visits went from 55 million to 52. That's a drop in the bucket.
One thing I learned a long time ago is that internet people just don't give a shit about doing what is right, only doing what is easy.
So yes, spreading news about Lemmy is more important than trying to take down reddit by not posting.
52 million from 55 million is actually a significant percentage. Yes it's still a big number, but it's pretty significant.
That is a over 5% drop, that is far larger than I expected, safe to assume that the 10% of users who add 90% of the content are in that number.This is far more dramatic than I imagined.
They will take it down themselves. They are pissing off the mods and the users that stayed. It will just get more corporate as time goes on and more and more of the content will become restricted to appease the shareholders.
The experience will just get shitter as time on. They'll have to keep changing things to aim for yearly profits that they won't hit and they'll probably cycle through a few CEOs . Lots of addicts will stay on it glued to the feed of bullshit. They might try to "innovate" with some infinite scroll or some other bullshit but its well past its peak and its now on the slow decline
Yeah, I think each time reddit takes action against moderators, it gives people more reason to seek other alternatives
