I’m, honestly, not surprised. It’s like, what were they expect?

    Everyone participating in this is helping reddit’s engagement metrics look really good to investors.

    All this proves is that reddit admins can continue to make the worst decisions and users will keep coming back.

      Reddit can take all their fake and inflated as fuck engagement numbers and shove it up their arse, for all I care.

      Play on r/place, don’t play on r/place, doesn’t matter. Lemmy is big enough that it is its own thing now. People that want something different will come. As much as it would be nice to have essentially a crowd-run ad campaign for Lemmy, I respect anyone committing to not visiting Reddit again for any reason.

      Let reddit users stay there, a lot of us are on Lemmy because we don’t like the direction reddit is headed.

      It doesn’t impact us if reddit gets good traffic.

      That being said, I’m rooting for reddits downfall and it’s very entertaining seeing the backlash

        The best way for lemmy to grow is slow and steady, eating reddit’s lunch over the next few months to years. It won’t happen overnight, and we don’t want it to.

        Your username growing into this sentiment is exactly how I feel. I was super pissed a couple weeks ago, now it’s just meh, not my pile of shit to deal with anymore.
