    If only this effort was used to make a giant banner of some Reddit alternatives - Lemmy, yes, but even something else like Kbin, Tildes, Squabbles, etc., just anything to get people to actually move somewhere else and put a tiny crack in the face of Reddit’s titanic forum almost-monopoly.

      Too hard and not everyone would’ve agreed. Nonetheless, they did put a banner for Lemmy at the exact center of the canvas, and while not huge it’s still better than nothing.

          So you’re one of those complaining about people being on Reddit and simultaneously complaining that those that are aren’t being on Reddit the right way. OK.

            It is my opinion that no one should continue to be on Reddit at all. Accordingly, I deleted my account.

            The people who think Reddit is still fine and hasn’t done anything wrong - well, I think they’re wrong, but it makes sense that they continue to use the site.

            But the people who are upset with the site and think they’re acting shiftily and that things are getting worse - why do they stay? It seems hypocritical to me, past a point. It makes sense that they’d want to try and get the site to reverse course, but i don’t think writing FUCK SPEZ was ever intended to do that. So why stick around?

              Cathartic rage would be my guess, Spez wants to sell the house so they’re happy to help smash the windows, paint the walls, and swear at the prospective buyers.
