So I've seen a few posts regarding news outlets calling the protests a failure, and I don't really think that's the case. The protests have clearly made an impact, especially if the Reddit CEO is willing to oust MODS to reopen subreddits. I truly believe that something has been jump started here on Lemmy, Kbin, and all of the fediverse. What happened on Reddit has simply pushed those already on the fence, or looking for other social media platforms to jump ship. I truly believe the impact is greater than what the media and Reddit in general want us to believe. Something has started here on the fediverse that simply cannot be stopped, all we can do is inform others and show why it's the future of aggregated news boards and social media.

Well said. The news outlets calling the protests a failure are making statements that they aren't qualified to make. Unless you have at least one foot in the fediverse, you really wouldn't have any way of knowing the extent of this paradigm shift.

Yea your very right. I wasn't really super aware of the situation, until I came here on the 11th, and that was on a whim tbh. I've since been educated on the implications of this from privacy to politics.
