The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit

Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 433 points – I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.
The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.
If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

Plus, overall reddit interaction has barely gone down. Daily visits went from 55 million to 52. That's a drop in the bucket.
One thing I learned a long time ago is that internet people just don't give a shit about doing what is right, only doing what is easy.
So yes, spreading news about Lemmy is more important than trying to take down reddit by not posting.
They will take it down themselves. They are pissing off the mods and the users that stayed. It will just get more corporate as time goes on and more and more of the content will become restricted to appease the shareholders.
The experience will just get shitter as time on. They'll have to keep changing things to aim for yearly profits that they won't hit and they'll probably cycle through a few CEOs . Lots of addicts will stay on it glued to the feed of bullshit. They might try to "innovate" with some infinite scroll or some other bullshit but its well past its peak and its now on the slow decline
52 million from 55 million is actually a significant percentage. Yes it's still a big number, but it's pretty significant.
That is a over 5% drop, that is far larger than I expected, safe to assume that the 10% of users who add 90% of the content are in that number.This is far more dramatic than I imagined.
