    mad that their entertainment driven by free labor was interrupted

    Exactly, my point. These people have such a shallow view point that they can’t stand to have their content interrupted for a few weeks to fight for better online rights. That’s why your platform is currently a burning garbage fire. Enjoy your “potty time” now.

    Honestly I imagine a lot of the people fighting against the protests were people paid for by reddit admins to try and sow discourse amongst users. Well, I wonder how that went for them considering the drop in content, and the rising migrations to Lemmy. It sucks because in losing Reddit - the information super highway that it has become - we as a species lose a lot of important information, and a lot of niche questions that wouldn’t be answered otherwise. But that doesn’t mean we can’t ask them again here on Lemmy. 🙂

      Losing the info highway sucks but I wouldn’t say it’s a loss as a species. The majority of users are in North America and then the broader anglosphere. So it’s definitely a loss in that cultural space. But the majority of the world, like India China Korea, doesn’t give a fuck about Reddit.
