Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.
As I go back there now after the protest, I find reddits’ content less and less interesting. I used to be able to lose hours on there, now I get bored after 5 minutes and get back to lemmy. It’ll keep on existing, but here’s hoping many more mainstream and non-techy users like me found the fediverse and know there’s valid alternatives now.
I went back there for like 3 minutes today and found myself getting angry at some stupid argument that didn’t matter to me really but still got to me. I don’t need that, I got enough irl. Lemmy et al. ain’t perfect, but at least it’s not that shithole.
if you get people to argue, you can pump users engagement statistics. same with conspiracy theories, and neither makes place that does this worth visiting (like facebook does)
