Altready most major subs are re-opening, and bootlickers are gloating that this didn’t achieve anything.
There’s still an attempt to keep things going but it’s a milquetoast “let’s shut down on wednesday, ya’ll”.
There was never a strong consensus to redirect people to alternatives like lemmy, so people used other parts of reddit until their favourite subs reopened. And when people redirected, most of them just directed to fuckin’ discord, which doesn’t serve the same purpose at all and is even worse from the lock-in perspective.
Unfortunately habit is hard to change. It also doesn’t help that federation is quite confusing, especially for non-tech people. The apps being pretty much in alpha/beta is another problem. I’m having a hard time browsing lemmy on my potato phone. The website seems as heavy as new reddit. Kbin is a little lighter. Maybe there’s another hope when the API is finally dead and the apps become useless.
Fizzling out? The protest was meant to only go 2 days in this first phase, while many have decided to stay dark forever, other subs wont be making that call until the 30th.
Many are going back to business as usual. That’s the sentiment I’m seeing. I still hope the closing of big third party apps on the 30th will change things
Well that was the plan, business as usual from now until the 30th.
I didn’t see any plan for post-30th
def was out there, not a modcoord thing, let those that want to return, let them be pwned by a company, we will be here building.
linux for social media.
Yea the IPO will make it even shitter as investors dictate what they want the masses to consume.
I think it has as more to do with the volunteer moderators being kicked out and moderation being taken over by employees of Reddit. That will probably have significant impact financially for Reddit.
