I haven't been back to Reddit since the first day of protests.
Not gonna lie though, I miss it. The niche stuff I went to Reddit for in the first place came here during the drama, but despite an initial push to get some replacement communities going here, they've gone almost completely inactive now.
I can't believe how the mods caved. They could have taken their balls and gone home and Reddit would have felt it
I may have missed some steps but I recall reddit removing and replacing mods of many subs.
It doesn't matter, because the damage is done. Small communities aren't what they used to be and the big subreddits are even lower quality.
R/ASOIAF knew about Lemmy and debated internally whether to migrate. I honestly can't believe they didn't. They were among the more passionate holdouts
They could have just made a post after setting up a lemmy community and people would have made the move
Also, can mods not delete subreddits? I'm surprised this didn't happen
