A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Welp! I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy at least.

You and me both. Im still heaving a little trouble figuring out all the fediverse, but it will definitely be better than reddit

@Charcoal8645 @edgerunnergit Basically, the Fediverse is a universe of tech designed to talk and interact with each other. For example, I can interact with you even though I don’t have a Lemmy account, and it works the other way too. ActivityPub connects all of us. I’m also sure interopability will strengthen as these services grow. It isn’t just Mastodon focus migrations happening and this is really great!

This episode as a whole is a great illustration of the danger of allowing a private business to run one of the biggest spaces for community and discourse in the world.

activitypub instances can decide to block other instances like gab.com.

user accounts are bound to instances = vendor lockin.

etc…

a more decentralized protcol is nostr, see also https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/136090

Yeah, even if they backtrack on all of this shit, I am done with them. This episode as a whole is a great illustration of the danger of allowing a private business to run one of the biggest spaces for community and discourse in the world.

Same here, no matter what they do now they’ve made it extremely clear what they think about their users, even if something happened tomorrow and the fediverse somehow went down (which would be a feat unto itself) I’m never touching reddit again

Aye. Good to have a new home in case the old one burns down
