We have not seen any significant impact so far and we will continue to monitor.
There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.
As many thought would happen, they don’t really care about what’s happening. I don’t know why there is an end date to a protest that will kill so many 3rd party apps and affect the free work that moderators do.
Sorry if this is the wrong uhh… Instance? Community? (I’m still kind of new to Lemmy so I’m trying to understand) to post this but I didn’t know where else to post.
Edit: accidentally uploaded the post without finishing the text.
It’s a communication to the employees he obviously knew was going to be leaked. What is he going to say?
Also, there are a bunch of subs that will stay dark indefinitely, and Lemmy is responding pretty well. Last time something like this (kind of) happened, people tried to go to voat… and that was a catastrophe
I understand that, but it still should have been more than 48 hours, that is not nearly enough for a protest, this is at least in my opinion. And yeah this wouldn’t apply to the subs that are staying dark indefinitely.
As for Lemmy, I’m genuinely glad that it’s responding well, not having to deal with a clunky, slow website feels much better. I really hope that Lemmy grows, imo it’s better when there’s competition.
Speaking for myself, but I suspect it’d resonate with many others, Reddit for me was Sync. No sync, no Reddit. I would imagine many of the people that moved over won’t come back if it means they have to:
Yuuuup, reddit was boost for me. The official app is a travesty. I wouldn’t go back either way though.
Completely agree with you, for me Reddit was also Sync, that’s why I’m deleting my account on the 30th. Without Sync there is no Reddit for me.
And expecting the closure of old.reddit.com (because it’s definitely gonna happen), not even the web version will be an option for me.
Yes, I think the true blackout occurs after 3PAs shut down.
