lol I have no idea why it got popular now. Basically it was how Reddit handled this and then r/europe banned me permanently because I mentioned Lemmy. Tbh .ml wasn't the best place to join Lemmy in retrospect, I've moved to lemmy.kde.social
Looks like OP posted this thread two years ago, so hard to say what their reason was. That said, I hadn’t heard about that with reddit yet. Thank you for sharing that article.
Spez is crazy if he thinks that move will bring back those who have left
