I feel like saying "Just leave" to the protesters is akin to telling people protesting Trump as president: "Just leave for Canada. You working and living in USA is just making more tax money for Trump."
Leaving Reddit or leaving a country or not comparable
For some poor addicted sods, leaving the app might be harder.
We’re never going to reach the addicted, but there are likely plenty of people who would jump ship if they just knew a little more about lemmy.
I've made the switch to Lemmy and it wasn't easy. Now that I understand the way the federated thing works I get it but, honestly I was confused.
The only thing that I miss is search. I don't know if it's my app or what but there's no way, I can find, to search through posts on Lemmy.
That will get fixed soon, I'm sure. This thing is new.
If that's your criteria for staying, I don't think search was ever fixed in Reddit, though! 😂 Measure with the same ruler!
No, my criteria for staying is that it works on an app that isn't Reddit
Scale is irrelivant, he is compairing the (social) dynamics at play
This is more like protesting Walmart while shopping there daily. Reddit directly benefits from the continued traffic.
i dont know how eager the advertisers are about advertising next to a canvas where the nicest message is fuck the CEO of that place. Twitter is struggling to get advertisers on board with how much of a fuckup Musk is as a CEO. Spez says that Musk is his idol and advertisers dont want a right wing cesspool filled with threats of violence and hatred to have their products right next to. And that is easier to enforce with a relatively small side like reddit, as opposed to facebook or instagram.
I think there is a difference between uprooting your entire life to move to a foreign country, and deleting an app
Nobody is deinying that, and I assume he was being extreme for the point,
