reddit has been forcing login popups, and app downloads on most peoples browsers. not all of them though.
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.
they will just go to instagram or tiktok, unfortunately.
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.
