Spez, and Reddit as a whole is basically counting on most subreddits opening back up tomorrow after the 48-hour period.

Really hope that mods can hold out for longer, make them really panic.

    yeah, if they can keep the protest up they will win. They may already have. As soon as users take the trouble to create new accounts on things like Kbin, the less likely they’ll retreat back to reddit. Honestly for being in its infancy I think this has been a good platform.

      Yeah, even if they reverse course and offer a public apology I’ll probably end up primarily staying here. Yeah it’s a smaller community, but sometimes that’s for the best.

        It really feels like 2010s Reddit did. But with more interoperablity and a clearer vision about who it wants to be morally speaking.

        A lot of us have just been waiting for the next big thing to come along, the quality there just gets worse and worse, the large amount of users seems to be only thing reddit has going for it. I’d be thrilled if the Fediverse took off, I’d never go back to the other site again.

          I’ve been frustrated by the quality on Reddit for awhile. Every sub degrades as time goes on. Users just upvote anything they like regardless of whether it fits the purpose of the sub. Bots run rampant in even the smallest of subs.

          personally never created account on reddit because the default user interface was so bad BUT giving kbin a try because comments are encouraged. A desperately missing feature on mastodon.

        I haven’t spent much time here but so far it’s the most approachable reddit alternative I’ve been to.
