ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
  • Worth noting that a good amount of kbin's traffic came as an alternative to potential moral difficulties from using lemmy/lemmy's creator[s], mainly from a mastodon post spread around at the time.

    It may have had an inadvertent filtering effect, regardless of the actual conclusion.

  • The Reddit blackout was pretty underwhelming
  • I think the reaction on the site itself also suffered from the AMA getting hard buried.

    Which was stupid. People should have upvoted the post in the AMA sub which was just a link to the AMA on the Reddit sub. It wasn't even pinned. And even if you did find it, until they did a summary you couldn't see his responses because also buried (understandably)

    That said, yes, I agree with you and the adjacent poster - the upside is alternative platforms got a huge boost, and even if a lot of the influx doesn't stay, it's still a huge boost.

  • The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens next
  • I don't think Reddit will immediately reverse course, but I think the protest has been an absolute win simply by giving the alternative communities far more growth than they would have otherwise.

    Reddit needs competition to feel threatened.

  • I'm really enjoying no down votes on Beehaw
  • once you’ve been on there a week you get the ability to label things (noise, jokes, malice), which sort of functions as a more nuanced downvote button.

    I'm glad to see other platforms doing this, it worked pretty well on Slashdot for a while.
