It is my opinion that no one should continue to be on Reddit at all. Accordingly, I deleted my account.

The people who think Reddit is still fine and hasn’t done anything wrong - well, I think they’re wrong, but it makes sense that they continue to use the site.

But the people who are upset with the site and think they’re acting shiftily and that things are getting worse - why do they stay? It seems hypocritical to me, past a point. It makes sense that they’d want to try and get the site to reverse course, but i don’t think writing FUCK SPEZ was ever intended to do that. So why stick around?

Because I deleted my account.

If only this effort was used to make a giant banner of some Reddit alternatives - Lemmy, yes, but even something else like Kbin, Tildes, Squabbles, etc., just anything to get people to actually move somewhere else and put a tiny crack in the face of Reddit’s titanic forum almost-monopoly.

How many of those people are still gonna be using the site though?

It doesn’t matter how loud you scream if you won’t actually do anything about it.

This is like refugees going back to their home country to have a parade about the country they fled too.

It’s more like going back to tell people where they can leave to somewhere else, that’s better. Personally I wouldn’t go back at all (nuked my account), but power to em for trying.

Was r/place expected to return before the reddit bull shit? Or is this a pr stunt to get people to forget the latest reddit shitery?

Datamining indicated this was supposed to take place on reddit’s birthday last month, but was postponed - likely because of the protests. I bet the figured it died down enough to go ahead, and were wrong.
