    I think the damage done to Reddit is not from protests but the bad management decisions – enshittification as Corey Doctorow put it – in order to hasten Reddit’s IPO. The attitude by upper management, taking user content for granted, is going to continue to serve to chase users away, or drive them to deprioritize engagement with Reddit.

    I’m missing only a couple of communities here on Lemmy but otherwise it serves me as a daily feed. And reddit still can be searched for troubleshooting.
