Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms....
I'm really wondering if they're going to remove moderators from specific subreddits and add in some their own hired ones. Hopefully this darkening lasts until Spez gives in. Cause 48 hours, during weekdays, isn't going to cut it, IMHO. Even saw an article stating Reddit will not back down even after the darkening.
I saw this too. However, 3 of the receipts show that those comments were removed by moderators at Beehaw. I understand the sentiment against tankies, don't get me wrong. I just don't like seeing misguided information. I think as we spread out from Reddit, it's important to be part of communities you align with but also be careful of bashing communities too.
Funny enough, last December, I predicted there would be another Big Social migration to the Fediverse. I even predicted it would happen in June.
I just didn’t think that Reddit, of all platforms, would be the one to cause the migration.
Big Social has a habit of creating shitty user experiences, and attempting to squeeze every bit of ARPU possible.
Until recently, if you didn’t like it, your only option was to kick rocks.
Reddit doesn’t give a damn. There have been plenty of Reddit alternatives in the past, and almost all of them have crashed and burned.
Except this time, when people join #Lemmy and #kbin, they are interacting with a network of 10 million Fediverse accounts – possibly more. No Reddit alternative has ever had 10 million accounts.
Understand this. Even if Lemmy and /kbin make up an insignificant chunk of the Fediverse right now, everyone who uses those services can talk to 10+ million Fediverse accounts.
Which means that this time Reddit detractors have serious options.
And believe me, more Big Social platforms will cause further migrations to the Fediverse. Each time this happens, that detraction will compound more and more.
Reddit probably doesn’t think this is a big deal. They probably think this is like the other times users expressed dissent.
But this time, these Redditors are discovering the Fediverse.
@jdp23 I'd agree with you, except if you look at 3/4 logs shared in the link you posted, the 3 were banned by beehaw moderators, not lemmy's. Be careful with smearing communities is all I'm saying.
