MODERATORS
What's the right way to protest, in your mind, from the position of the mods and users who can't control other subs?
I'm happier off Reddit than on at this point protest or not, even though I've been there from nearly the start. Unless they reverse course on this recent heading, it's not a place I want to stay.
I already have to heavily curate my reddit experience to have a good time there. I rather smaller communities like this, and I don't want to spend my time on the official forums for things like this due to how they go.
I'm used to an internet where I used lots of different sites and have different accounts for things. It has upsides.
If I really want to read something that's only on Reddit I can go read it and participate elsewhere.
Well, a protest where everyone comes back afterward just won't work. I read that people suggested allowing spam and unmoderation, but that would just ruin the app for both parties. The most 'effective' way is to funnel all users to one alternative, like what we've done. A Reddit clone, as shown here, is easy to make but the hard part is showing the idea of the community creating an alternative and driving traffic towards it. That way, Reddit would actually have to worry about people not coming back instead of waiting it out like they're doing now.
Yeah, and steve-o said as much.
To be honest, I don't expect the blackout or protest to fix reddit at this point. The IPO is impending. the enshittification has begun. (That's a great article if you haven't read it)
But I know it has given a huge boost to alternative platforms like this, which gives me a place to hang out and do the same thing I was doing there, in a better way.
