I'm glad this Reddit blackout finally inspired me to make a Lemmy account. I already like it enough that I may or may not even go back to Reddit. Yarrr!

Reddit has been weird with comments, and formatting for me. I can actually copy and paste here without my comment getting kneecaped. :O

Noice, full blackout is the right choice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Note: Our official subreddit will revive at the end of June 14th

Thanks for linking to Lemmy. Not enough of the protest private pages did so.

Bravo to you. This was absolutely the right call and I hope you let it rot if there isn't a massive change of direction. Frankly, for me, even if they do roll things back I am still done with them. P2P is how the internet should be (funny considering torrenting has been a thing for how long now?) and thankfully we have guys like you to step up and help get this off the ground. Thanks!

I love Reddit, But plan on using Lemmy now too. Doesn't seem too bad.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I know, right? For me it's a drop in replacement. All that's required is for the people to stick around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Seems quite good. Although I'm having some trouble with connecting to some instances (e.g. feddit.dk) Edit: Everything seems to work now (2023-06-17)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's the hard part ain't it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Respect. Decentralization fits perfect with piracy anyhow.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Honestly hoping that Reddit does nothing so we can build a better commnuity here

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Always good to see this pop in here. I'm already liking Lemmy much better so far too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad to see Piracy made it over 🙇🏽‍♂️

Im prolly gonna stick to Lemmy even if Reddit magically apologizes and gives us each a free cookie. Much better comment interface, and it's not Reddit. :3

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

ye I'm also got used to it quite nicely.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Will the megathread be transfered here?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

it's already stickied

But what if they.... pirate, the um... piracy?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

playing our game means we've already won :D

Hypothetically speaking, if this instance gets taken down would it be possible for the admin to recover the data and respawn it on a new instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yarr! Aye approve!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's hope this makes Reddit change their minds, which I doubt so we might settle here. Can I get mod access here by the way?

DUG their own grave. You gotta give that Spez guy credit, he's going down with the ship. Even if it's into water full of shit.

Is this the Reddit shutdown until the 14th thing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
