[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 149 points 3 years ago (4 children) The reddit protest caused thousands of power users and some of the best content creators to leave the site. The reddit protest caused lemmy to grow exponentially for weeks on end. The reddit protest caused well known third party app developers to leave reddit and retool for lemmy. Next time reddit fucks up, and it will, when everyone is over there circlejerking about "well are there any good reddit alternatives?" The answer will be "there is now, and it's called lemmy." And lemmy will again grow exponentially. Hardly seems like a win, long term. Sure, reddit beat the remaining mod hold outs. They didn't beat us. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] zikk_transport2@lemmy.world 37 points 3 years ago At the beginning I was going to Reddit on and off. Currently, I just stick to Lemmy. Also "Sync for Lemmy" made me incredibly happy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cybersteel@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) But in the short term, spaz will have made a killing by selling the company. And in the long term, the investors will be the ones holding the losses as the site haemorrhage users. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago it's fine. they can just come here permalink fedilink source parent [–] md5crypto@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago Yes they did win. permalink fedilink source parent [+] blackpeoplesuck@lemmy.myserv.one -6 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Nath@aussie.zone 10 points 3 years ago Huh.
