How Reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history

Users were outraged, but Reddit mostly won.

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?

    Yup. I haven’t logged in since Boost went down and don’t intend to. Except when a link takes me there and auto-opens the app.

    That said, while it’s fun and informative to talk about how bad Reddit has become, I hope Lemmy can move on soon and just start being something different rather than constantly being smug about Reddit.

      I still have 12k+ comments made over 15 years I need to delete, then I’m gone

      I thought the same as you until I checked and saw that /r/programming is back. That is a professional resource whose merits outweigh the ideological ramifications

        It’s mostly blogspam and gpt generated “articles” and has been for years. Some of the language specific subs were good though.
