It is the same as what everyone did after the reddit fiasco i.e. protest, boycott, grudgingly use it while complaining and then finally accept the change.
May be this discord episode will have better outcome for the masses.
- esseph 7mo agoThat's not what happened with the X nonsense, a lot of people went to mastadon/bluesky.
- Telaneo 7mo agoReddit dropped a lot in quality after that. I suspect a lot of people stopped posting, even if they did continue using it in some capacity.
- ZeWaka 7mo agoI uninstalled it from my phone entirely. Definitely helped curb my usage.

- kombookcha 7mo agoThat was certainly my experience. I got rid of the app and only used reddit in browser mode to read without participating. The noticeable quality drop after the migration, as well as all the artificial hurdles they put up to force you back on the app eventually made me stop using it entirely.
- gbear605 7mo agoFor me, I just stopped using Reddit. Turns out that I’m happier without it.
- JoeBOFH 7mo agoHah I did the same thing. I only ever interact with it now when it appears in search results.
- hx8 7mo agoIn the attention economy, you rarely become obsolete overnight. It's a more gradual shift of user focused being spent other places.
- iterance 7mo agoPlatforms lose momentum when these events strike, and momentum loss is the death knell for social platforms. Reddit's missteps have put it on a downward spiral. They may hang on, even for an impressively long time, but recovery from this point is very difficult and usually involves transforming or re-forming the vision. It can be done. It takes the right leaders. Most are unfit for this particular challenge.
- heavyset_go 7mo agoI moved to Lemmy and it reminds me of 2006 era Reddit
- kombookcha 7mo agoIn a good 'niche forums and quirky local cultures' type of way, or in the annoying epic bacon kind of way?
- heavyset_go 7mo agoI was going to add "without the epic bacon narwhal" shit but opted to let that meme die forever
- kombookcha 7mo agoIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
