[–] fart@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago (3 children) i'm doubting there will be a large exodus... why wouldn't they be here already? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] CavalierAlbatross@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) There will be some but I doubt that it will be huge enough for Reddit to care. People will use their app, generate ad money. People willing to have ads in their experience probably have a higher tolerance for low quality posts, so any moderation changes likely won't be killer. That's my pessimistic take. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Magiwarriorx@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) I think the moderation changes will affect even the most apathetic user in the end. I'm already seeing some of my subs start locking threads more readily instead of trying to keep the discussion going. If that becomes the norm, the value of Reddit from both a business and user perspective will take a serious hit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Strangle@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago The post about the Supreme Court and affirmative action was locked on the news sub What kind of sense does that make? The number 1 post on r/all …. Locked for new comments? Must not have liked what people were posting about it. Which is just terrible moderation permalink fedilink source parent [–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago I've personally been splitting my time a bit on mobile until my beloved RIF dies, then I'll be here 100%. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago* It took me a while to find the energy to move over to here. I still haven't gone to look for a lot of the equivalent communities that I had on Reddit. Frankly I am still using Apollo as if nothing has changed, despite knowing it will stop working hours from now. I reckon there are plenty of people who need the actual impetus from it stopping working to actually change over to an alternative. permalink fedilink source parent
