If only people would actually stop using Reddit instead of doing these useless “protests” like they do in /r/videos. They're still using the site, that's what Reddit wants...

I've been waiting for my third party app to break. Boost finally stopped working an hour ago so I signed up here.

Signed up three days ago but was still using Boost until it stopped working just now. Am now figuring out how Lemmy works.

Just FYI, the developer of Boost is making a version for Lemmy. I'll definitely be downloading it once it's available.

The Lemmy boost version is already in development and you can sign up for it already on the app store!

Boost is still working for me, but I haven't logged in/engaged since the blackout. If it does go any day now, I'm okay with that.

Same, ‘cept my 3PA died a few hours before it should’ve. Reddit admins are clowns.

The protests aren't all useless, necessarily.

Subs that go NSFW are depriving Reddit of advertising revenue, and sites that change their purpose are likely to drive away some users who don't want to shitpost, who might then go looking for alternatives.

except they are useless when reddit will just remove anybody that doesn't play ball

I doubt it's seriously hurting Reddit, if at all. People would really hurt Reddit if they just stopped using it entirely. No posting, no commenting and no lurking.
