I've seen a few discussions about the "failed" protests and wanted to talk about it (lemmy.world)

So I've seen a few posts regarding news outlets calling the protests a failure, and I don't really think that's the case. The protests have clearly made an impact, especially if the Reddit CEO is willing to oust MODS to reopen subreddits. I truly believe that something has been jump started here on Lemmy, Kbin, and all of the fediverse. What happened on Reddit has simply pushed those already on the fence, or looking for other social media platforms to jump ship. I truly believe the impact is greater than what the media and Reddit in general want us to believe. Something has started here on the fediverse that simply cannot be stopped, all we can do is inform others and show why it's the future of aggregated news boards and social media.

Reddit admins made it perfectly clear they're not interested in feedback or compromises, they've quadrupled down on that point.

The way they handled this situation clearly shows their contempt for their user base, they want you to create as much content as possible and farm engagement so it looks good for their IPO.

The best thing people can do is either quit entirely and migrate to sites like this one or at the very minimum only use Reddit for lurking, don't post, don't upvote / downvote, simply cost them resources as that's how they see their user base, a bunch of parasites

Let's be real about what this is: it's so they can get rich.

This model doesn't work well when you rely on user created content and volunteer mods to run the whole thing. Things like Wikipedia and Linux would fail too if they just wanted to take advantage of volunteers to get rich.
