Valid question. Hate to say this, but if most subs reopen after 2 days, we're essentially handing reddit bosses an easy win. It's like protesting with no terms, and instead merely creating a brief storm that'll pass and quickly be forgotten. Might as well throw eggs at a tank with that thinking.
The only way this protest works, is if subs stay dark with no deadline, and terms that must be met to end the standoff. That's how these things work. That's how it's always worked.
The toast & jam package design made me laugh, because it looks like the tea is being poured directly into the toaster. Do not try that at home!
I saw the biscuit one at my local supermarket, and was *very *close to a purchase. Now I'm even more curious what these will smell and taste like! ☕
An aggregator site only actually needs upvotes to function, so I'm fine with the choice.
As others have pointed out, if a submission is particularly problematic, then it can be reported.
Perhaps if Lemmy.One grows substantially, then a new strategy (like downvoting) might become necessary, but for now I think it's fine as it is.
Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!
