I’ve noticed that too. The compartmentalized nature of Reddit only exists becuase of the size of the communities. I’ve seen lot of people copying subreddits and also filling them with links to the top posts on that subreddit, meanwhile they are getting no comments or engagement. Lemmy should not act as a mirror hosting website for Reddit.
My biggest complaint is how Linus is still saying he’s not sorry about what he did, at least it doesn’t seem genuine, instead he is still apologizing that he didn’t realize what the community wanted.
He shouldn’t care what the community wants. He should always strive for accurate data, ethical partnerships, and correcting mistakes when they still make it through because they always will.
Linus is doubling down on his opinions, hiding mistakes, doing the bare minimum to fix them, and needs public outcry and the heavy hand of the other executives in LTT to see any course change.
You don’t buy them from your local supermarket that has a live feed of the tomato slaves out in the fields toiling away? My favorite part is the button they added that lets you auto-whip them on command.
there are other just like me.
I am right here, and there are many more. I quit reddit about a week before the blackout. I used to be a power user, I’m talking more than 3 hours a day easily. I made a few post, but most of my engagement was from comments. I quit cold turkey, actively avoiding reddit result from google searches.
Fast forward to today, and I still don’t use it out of spite. I still avoid it if I can but if there are search results from Google that have answers to my specific problem on reddit, I will read the comments with ad-block on and move on to another website if the reddit link did not provide a solution.
People who don’t want to solve the problem, they just want their turn on top.
