The apathetic make up the userbase, the dedicated make up their content-generation.
Reddit is dead. You gotta move on.
This. I keep seeing Reddit talk shit on the "2% of power users" like it's the 50% who doesn't make an account or 20% who exclusively lurk are going to make and moderate the content with that 2% gone.
He's working with Musk now, so really just expect another far right terrorism paradise because taking $5/mo to chase off the libs is easier than dealing with users asking them to make their shit work.
Do we really want a bunch of apathetic consumers anyway?
I view this as an 80/20 problem. 80% of users don't post content, 20% post AND care about the platform they post to.
The 20% are mostly here.
I say let them eat the advertisements and our memes a week or two after we post.
I was primarily a lurker on reddit, but cared very much about the community and have left because of it. I really should become more active here, to be a better part of the community.
Anyway, long story short, I'm sure there are lurkers that care and will be/have already migrated.
YES YOU DO
Are you serious? You want all the users you can get who will vote and/or comment. That's what makes content successful, engagement, in one form or another. This isn't your own private club, if we want this thing to become successful we want as many reddit refugees as we can get.
Reddit had gone too far this time. People are leaving the site like Digg.
Honestly I think it might just happen. A lot of dedicated users will follow their communities over once they are banned/mods removed, and once that begins traction will take over. I think the great Reddit migration is here! Well I'm hoping anyways lol.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
So the only real way to fight the Reddit admins is to leave the site... Too bad the apathetic make up the vast majority of users, so there won't be a mass exodus like Digg.
