To your point, Seattle had 2 subreddits due to disagreement on moderation lol.

I found out about the the "He gets us" ads from comments, because I only used old w/ ad blocker or a 3p app...
Why spoil a good thing? The protest was basically the best they could do, got tons of attention and media.
Obviously time will tell if this actually is the downturn for Reddit, but belittling their efforts just because they didn't redirect to Lemmy seems a bit entitled.
I honestly don't understand. Reddit hasn't ever treated their mods well and will never pay them. I only see upside to going down with the ship lol
I know it's a meme, but the way I see it is, giving Reddit a click or two won't really move the needle much.
Really it's about the long-term. If you're on the Fediverse creating content and not on Reddit, eventually those search results will stop pointing at Reddit. That's the real win I think.
I shamelessly use Linux Mint with Cinnamon pre-installed. I imagine my experience is closer to the classic Windows experience than Windows 11 right now lol.
