Honestly, it's mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we're helpless to do anything about it. This is particularly noticeable on platforms like Reddit, where we, the users, are the real value creators and even volunteer our time.

Just a few days ago, during the Reddit protests, the only thing required from us was to log off. However, it seemed that even this small act was too much for some. It's a stark wake-up call, making you question how and why we don't take a stand when our rights are truly in jeopardy.

In this day and age, it appears we're all too engrossed in our personal lives. If it doesn't directly affect us, it's shrugged off. This "not my problem" mindset is damaging to us all eventually. It hinders our ability to empathize with each other's struggles and to unite against common adversities. This isn't the type of society any of us should want. It's alarming to see our sense of community dwindling, and it's genuinely heartbreaking. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but the large number of people who seem indifferent is truly concerning. This should serve as a wake-up call for all of us. What do you guys think? (Pic not relevant)

Do you think, that there are many communities (especially their mods) on reddit that would be openminded to migrate to lemmy?

Imho most subreddits will "sit it out", i guess a lot of mods will more likely choose a subpar product (i guess tools for mods will still be able to access the api) than risk it to loose their "power" they have over their subs - There will always be a group of people that are willing to take over the old subs

Edit: words are hard

I’m the admin for discuss.online. I’ve reached out to a handful of subreddits I follow asking them to move over to my instance and they don’t respond. Not to me anyway.
