How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?
Of course they’re gonna claim they won. Most people don’t realise the sheer amount of bot generated content on there anyway, which has only increased.
It’s going to dramatically increase. BotDefence, a popular moderator tool, is shutting down

Who actually gives a fuck?
A lot of people do.
What Reddit has done and is doing is very big news due to their size and the role they play on the internet. Just because you have a teenager’s snarky “who cares” attitude doesn’t mean that this isn’t important to a large portion of the online population, including many of the people who left reddit and came here.

Not that enriched if you’re trying to insult people with “OK, Boomer”.
And also even though lots of people like to say there’s no “competition” between Reddit and the Fediverse, that’s not actually true. Social networks need a critical mass of people participating in order for them to be good. The two systems might not be in financial competition but they are in competition for users.
That’s an excellent point and very true.
As long as we can keep up the content here, this has replaced Reddit for me.
The Connect for Reddit app is much more enjoyable to use than the official Reddit app. Heck, I even like it better than I did Sync for Reddit.
I don’t care what happens to reddit.
