It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests.

    You can be reasonably sure more unpopular changes to the site are incoming if they’re preemptively preventing blowback at scale.

    I strongly feel that going private was counter-productive in the protest anyway. To the normal users, all they saw was a homepage of subs that were Not protesting.

    r/bestof did it right: Limit the sub to one ‘megapost’ per day, every day. And that post mentioned Reddit alternatives.

    Hilarious people think you can protest a website.

    You just stop using it, how does reddit stop you from using it? lol

      The beauty of Lemmy is the federation. Don’t like how an instance is being moderated? Make your own.

      Nothing made by humans will ever be perfect, but at least with Lemmy the control isn’t in the hands of a megacorp trying to profit from us.
