Imbrace fo the impact !
There will always be one more thing.
Every time it happens, the stream of people becomes less ... pleasant on average. Not to say there aren't still good people that might come over, but the people that come at this point are pretty accepting of toxicity and are more likely to spread it.
I can’t wait for another wave of posters who refer to “this administration” and numbered amendments regardless of topic or international context.
Fr murricans can't fathom being in an international space.
At least for me, I'm now here 100%.
Good to know!
Personally, for the most part I left Reddit even before the Lemmy exodus. But this was the final straw. Since then, full time Lemmy.
Only if the affected users know about the existence of lemmy, and many of them likely do not. If you happen to still be using reddit, you should use it to shill lemmy, hopefully in a diversity of subreddits so that lemmy doesn't become any more of an echo chamber than it already is.
Problem here is it relies on people using redit after having found lemmy. I know some people do, but I can only imagine it's a one-way valve for most.
i only remember lemmy was a thing, when the API disaster happened after i got banned, people were really freaking out how to get back in reddit.

Feels like I've been here forever but however old my lemmy account is is how long I've been off reddit.
It'll be both good and bad if it happens.
While it'll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.
In the future, platforms like lemmy will probably have to find privacy-respecting ways of verifying that someone is a human. There are ways to prove someone is an actual human without relying on digital technologies at all. If you're trying to prove humanity and not using human solutions, you're going to fail.
I plan on going to smaller fediverse graphs if it ever gets too mainstream around here.
The moment I see a fuckin brand I am out. Joining whatever network has a zero tolerance policy for that corporate fuckery.
they already aggressively starting to force a login popup, and also trying to redirect old reddit to new reddit. there ultimate goal is to make people use the APP.
Anyone else remember when forums were just for having fun, not making the owners money or collecting data? Can't believe it used to be that way.
Yes, and
their ultimate goal is to ~~make people use the APP~~ monetise every single interaction
Also, recently they require you to login to access old reddit where previously you could browse without logging in. They do not require a valid email address (yet) to create an account, so while not a total crap show, it is rapidly approaching.
This change is what led me to do a search for alternatives to reddit in which Lemmy here was suggested.
other browser forks seem unaffected, while another will force the login each time.(with the old reddit redirect), and a extension that makes old reddit usable on mobile.
Yeah the forced log in is super annoying. I’ll browse the homepage and immediately get a pop up asking me to download the app and make an account.
Super annoying since that site has more of the answers to most questions typed into Google.
