And unlike last time there won’t be an easy way for mods to point users towards Lemmy.
Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

They’re about to make another wildly unpopular move. Get your popcorn ready.

Glad I’m not the only one pessimating that.

Let’s be honest with ourselves - no, it won’t be wildly unpopular. This change affects very few people and the people still using Reddit at this point likely won’t care much.
Because think about this - who is actively complaining and gnashing their teeth about the continued downward spiral and still scrolling, posting, moderating there at this point? I’d love to believe more people would jump ship - but if it ever happened it would take a far larger-scope fuckup than this.

You know they’re going to keep escalating.

Not in any way the average user cares much about.
The causal social media user cares for two things:
A constant interrupted stream of content
Dopamine in the form of upvotes/likes/what have you
If these two things aren’t interupted, 90% of users won’t care.

Then why go to the trouble of making this change?
