Fair enough. I think both can be true. Lemmy got a pick me up AND the Reddit protest was a fucking joke in the sense that:
It was only planned to last like a week
Like 99% of mods folded like a wet paper towel at the first threat from Reddit
Many subs took polls on wherher to re open and the fucking plebs of Reddit overwhelmingly said to re open
Just talk to people who aren’t in our little Lemmy corner. Most people still use Reddit and act like nothing changed.
Reddit wasn’t really harmed. Most people don’t care. Lemmy got more popular but active users have already leveled off and even declined. Still a boost to Lemmy at the end of the day. But overall this whole protest was a fucking meme.
