I've seen a few discussions about the "failed" protests and wanted to talk about it (lemmy.world)

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.

You know, I used to be that guy. spez looks cool. He's great. Reddit is one of the good guys, defenders of free speech. They do things better than other big tech - like if you get permabanned you can still log in and see your history, you can still download and save your content, not like when FB or Google kicks you out, etc etc.

But what the protests taught me is that, even this isn't good enough. Reddit's not one of the good guys. It was a hard lesson to learn, but one that I needed to learn.

Rather than being the exception, I'd guess that there are a lot more like me who have had their eyes open. And now open and looking for alternatives.
