I suppose that depends on your point of view.
You don’t think that Lemmy and Reddit can both fail to meet expectations?
I mean, if you’re being invaded, doesn’t anything you do to fight back count as “defense”?
I know how everyone just wants to pipe up and say, “well it didn’t crush me hur hur”, but I actually watched the video. It’s a good record of what went down. I wish it would’ve mentioned Reddit alternatives, but it’s still solid work.
And to anyone who still maintains that the protest has fatally wounded Reddit, look, I’m on your side but Reddit is still the 800 lb gorilla of link aggregation, and most folks still don’t get why they should care about API pricing.
Depending on who you talk to, it actually might. Even this phrase, a sensible request for freedom on its face, is absolutely a call for the dissolution of Israel to some who use it. Finding an innocent in the conflict, outside of a maternity ward, is mighty challenging.
Of course they will lose users. They will lose the users that would otherwise get them sued. Pretty sure they are okay with the trade-off.
Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it’s happening faster in China, and they’re less developed to start with.
What does that leave?
What’s that? It’s on somebody’s property. Someone is paying for power, connectivity, and air conditioning.
It’s funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.
I think that which 250k migrated will eventually end up making quite a significant dent. It isn’t the technophobic lurkers that make up the Lemmy early adopters.
Maybe we’ll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.
“Pcmasterrace” did not start with Reddit.
Well, he doesn’t need a many as he used to…
