    I’m all for watching Reddit reap what it sowed. They absolutely should be considered damaged goods at this point. But the ones that are really going to suffer are the mods that moderate critical subs such as r/suicide r/stopdrinking and r/auntienetwork. Spez didn’t even give one brain cell to think about the consequences of subs that provide valuable support to struggle people.

    Really grinds my gears on that part alone.

      Well said. It’s easy to say “let that shithole burn” for me, as a person who just used it for entertainment and mild education. But there are integral support communities that I hate seeing suffer.

      Maybe lemmy users should do their part in reaching out to them and offering the fediverse as an alternative?

        I’m a /r/QanonCasualties refugee. I need the support so bad and unsure how to get them to migrate here. I think they are afraid to leave people suffering there, but I can’t post on Reddit or support it at this point. I can find no other forum like it.

        Oh and we relied on bots to give us easy to access assistance with specific things. I guess that’s gone now.
