To be fair. I’ve been visiting to look at the art and drama i am just not participating or recovering my account. Its also yet another way for the staying community to vouch their disapproval.
The world is devided enough as it is, if we allow infighting where Lemmy pioneers on high horses look down on the mainstream reddit user that didnt migtate at once then there not going to want to come here and spez wins.
I am all for a Lemmymigration subreddits for the same reasons. As long as it leads to more valueble content being made here i dont give a fuck on how many traffic reddit gets.
You have a very healthy opinion on this and I must admit, you're right with everything you're saying. Yet I'm surprised how little was necessary to get over the past few months. Yes, there is protest on the canvas, but mainly it's business as usual and a huge success for Reddit. Spez and others realised they need to do something to calm things down and people easily fell for this, especially those on the German subreddits. The canvas was still nearly blank when there was already a huge German flag present. Great job! /s
The germans have a very active r/place sub-community and discord they’ve been prepping for months. It was bound to happen.
