  I disagree. R messing up is how we get more users

    No, us generating content and community is how we get users. Reddit’s conduct only creates episodic influxes of users.

  If that’s true, thrn Reddit’s explosion in popularity had nothing to do with Digg.

    The critical mass of Reddit was many years after the Digg debacle.

      Would the critical mass occur if the original wave didn’t join and produce content?

  Lemmy hasn’t gone a day without talking about reddit for a month and a half.

  A good many of us are here because of R’s apps no longer working, including myself. It’s been a month and now I don’t even remember using R on my phone tbh. I did mostly use desktop, but I’ve also acclimatised very quickly.

    Which is one reason I am confused by the response to Sync. We left because of third party apps getting screwed over but a segment of Lemmy is saying “Yeah, but only foss apps should migrate to Lemmy because, ‘mah foss sensibilities’.”

      As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

      If you’re judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

  As much as I want this to be true, it’s simply patently false.

  • Noscharhar@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I agree with you, but I think there’s a level where it is true.

    Like Lemmy should grow and develop based on what users are saying and not what Reddit is doing to a degree.

      Don’t agree with that guy. He has a glaring conflict of interest.

  You don’t wish to see it kill off R?

      Not that you might care… but I find that disappointing. :(

    I’d rather not because then all the trolls will come here and it will turn into R2.0
