I’m all for watching Reddit reap what it sowed. They absolutely should be considered damaged goods at this point. But the ones that are really going to suffer are the mods that moderate critical subs such as r/suicide r/stopdrinking and r/auntienetwork. Spez didn’t even give one brain cell to think about the consequences of subs that provide valuable support to struggle people.
Really grinds my gears on that part alone.
r/stopdrinking is the sub that really gave me the motivation to stop drinking. I went from binge drinking once or twice a week to nearly completely cutting out alcohol of my life.
that's awesome, keep it up =)
thanks I'm trying everyday.
Maybe lemmy users should do their part in reaching out to them and offering the fediverse as an alternative?

I’ve been looking for the community here too. It’s nice to see one of my people here :)
You two should start a new community

On desktop it's an easy "create community" at the top. Ask for additional mods and get the ball rolling.

Guess what, a fediversal bot works across the whole fediverse! we're truly no longer locked into one site, the new tools can work anywhere and everywhere!
A few people the other day were catching site wide bans for suggesting fediverse. Others have had no problem. I think it depends on the mood of newly installed mods or if a pissed off admin sees you. Obviously also your tone.
I surmise Threads being somewhat part of the fediverse actually might have made it easier to get away with telling people about Lemmy/kbin but I haven't been over to reddit to test this out due to trying to quit cold turkey.
I think putting direct links to lemmy/kbin is what triggers bans the most, avoiding links should be fine enough.
I feel like any mention of lemmy or other competing platforms is suppressed on reddit. At least I saw no activity on any of my posts nor have I saw such posts from others.
Well said. It’s easy to say “let that shithole burn” for me, as a person who just used it for entertainment and mild education. But there are integral support communities that I hate seeing suffer.
The fact that reddit is now built into the infrastructure of supporting suffering people is literally so fucked.
And that it is something WE have to worry about. Is anyone else worried? Any governments? No.
I'm sure he did, he probably just didn't give a shit.

Yea it’s honestly stupid how bad it’s turned out. They could have turned back so many times…
