Happy cake
day! -
Just came to lemmy again
after learning this shit!!
mass exodus coming soon -
Yeah it really was pathetic.
Like they took a stand while it was cool, but then capitulated rather than face removal.
-
i switched to lemmy after seeing the crackdown after the blackouts where they just repo'ed subreddits that didn't stand down - it was clear then that internal forces would not be able to change a thing over there. i couldn't support a site that was doing shit like this. (It's the reason i keep pestering my wife to leave facebook and instagram after zucks kneefall for trump, and switch to pixelfed and bluesky instead; lemmy wouldn't be a good place for her, but i can see her enjoying pixelfed a lot)
-
Yes, there's a torrent somewhere...
-
Second influx to the Fediverse?
-
The key part here is that (at least initially...) they won't put any existing subreddits behind a paywall. So users' habits won't really be interrupted.
-
Yes same. I don’t want to be stressed out by the internet anymore. I want internet for millennials back.
Nice to meet you, everyone’s been so lovely thus far.
-
same here lol. If they paywall subreddits ive been visiting for the past FOURTEEN years, i will lose my shit. by throwing it at the reddit headquarters.
-
