It looks to me that they’re basically doing it as a desperate last resort.

Thanks for maintaining the best instance lol

I really like lemmy so far. With such a small community it almost feels like how online forums used to be

Reddit also had competing communities though like r/tech and r/technology or r/games and r/gaming

Lemmy

Came here from Reddit and I already love it so much more! :)

Why do I keep seeing these four comments everywhere

Exactly!! The protest wasn't solely about the API changes but people were also protesting /u/spez and his blatant lies to try and shift blame onto other people, which he just loves doing

I think instead of solely talking about Reddit, people are creating communities based off reddit communities like c/tifu or c/mildlyinfuriating and carrying on as usual so I’m hopeful that the same thing won’t happen to lemmy!
