You don’t agree with the site, so you stop using it. If enough people do that, they lose money.
Maybe someone should tell them that’s never gonna happen, then? Because a lot of them seem to think the amount of protestors are more than enough to influence reddit traffic. I’m all for boycotting reddit (i was probably here earlier than most rexxitors - this is my 4th account due to looking for a good home instance), but stopping people from protesting is just wrong. Protesting doesn’t mean just boycotting.
let Lemmy/kbin grow naturally. As long as it maintains consistent positive growth, it will be a beautiful thing in some years.
As far as the Fediverse is concerned, I agree completely.
There’s no need to spam reddit.
There may be no need, but there certainly is a reason in some people’s minds.
I mean people can do whatever they want, I don’t care. Me personally I had a 14 year old reddit account that I scrubbed clean by editing over the thousands of comments with a script right before the API change date.
And I haven’t been back since. I don’t agree with reddit, so I’m not going to use reddit.
If people want to go on reddit and protest, go for it why not. I just think it’s a meaningless activity. It’s owned by a company that couldn’t care less about people protesting. The average redditor is also apathetic towards the cause. Reddit is not what it was 10 years ago.
