Users Have Had It With Reddit...But Are Powerless

A video about the effectiveness of the Reddit protest

The people who see the protest as a failure were many of the users who used the official app, default settings, and seldom if ever contributed to the site. They were never going to leave anyway.

Look how many people came here, and there is a noticeable decrease in the number of bots and trolls. I see this as a huge win for us users.

Edit: Just realized this is ambiguous. There's noticeably fewer bots and trolls here on Lemmy than there were on reddit.
Powerless to change Reddit. You can always do what I did and use lemmy instead.
- This is the way.
  
  It's been so much nicer tbh, at least on Beehaw. I don't have any reason to go back with Lemmy and RSS feeds
  
  i find that the lack of community videos really holds me back from using lemmy as a primary website, but i do understand that video hosting is expensive, just kinda sucks
It feels like realizing that WhatsApp is a terrible Meta privacy nightmare, but you can't wake up because you can't convince your whole family to use Signal.
- I've tried, but Signal is just too cumbersome to use. I sorely miss a web client and my family members sorely miss an Android tablet client. This makes it hard to recommend.
