I'm glad this Reddit blackout finally inspired me to make a Lemmy account. I already like it enough that I may or may not even go back to Reddit. Yarrr!

[–] kirbyfighter12@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

Reddit has been weird with comments, and formatting for me. I can actually copy and paste here without my comment getting kneecaped. :O

[–] alternativeninja@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago

Thanks for linking to Lemmy. Not enough of the protest private pages did so.

[–] KeroKira@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love Reddit, But plan on using Lemmy now too. Doesn't seem too bad.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I know, right? For me it's a drop in replacement. All that's required is for the people to stick around.

[–] dolitehgreat@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

That's the hard part ain't it?

[–] dko1905@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Seems quite good. Although I'm having some trouble with connecting to some instances (e.g. feddit.dk) Edit: Everything seems to work now (2023-06-17)

Bravo to you. This was absolutely the right call and I hope you let it rot if there isn't a massive change of direction. Frankly, for me, even if they do roll things back I am still done with them. P2P is how the internet should be (funny considering torrenting has been a thing for how long now?) and thankfully we have guys like you to step up and help get this off the ground. Thanks!

Noice, full blackout is the right choice

[–] amortized_cost@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Note: Our official subreddit will revive at the end of June 14th

[–] IcyTable208X@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Always good to see this pop in here. I'm already liking Lemmy much better so far too.

[–] C0balt_Blu@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad to see Piracy made it over 🙇🏽‍♂️

Im prolly gonna stick to Lemmy even if Reddit magically apologizes and gives us each a free cookie. Much better comment interface, and it's not Reddit. :3

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

ye I'm also got used to it quite nicely.

[–] WhiteWolfLT@pawb.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Will the megathread be transfered here?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 years ago

it's already stickied

[–] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago
[–] J_C___@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Honestly hoping that Reddit does nothing so we can build a better commnuity here

[–] rowdy@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Respect. Decentralization fits perfect with piracy anyhow.

[–] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But what if they.... pirate, the um... piracy?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

playing our game means we've already won :D

[–] CapnAssHolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hypothetically speaking, if this instance gets taken down would it be possible for the admin to recover the data and respawn it on a new instance?

Yarr! Aye approve!

[–] L31FY@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is this the Reddit shutdown until the 14th thing?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

yes, or maybe longer

[–] _Stalwart_@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's hope this makes Reddit change their minds, which I doubt so we might settle here. Can I get mod access here by the way?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

DUG their own grave. You gotta give that Spez guy credit, he's going down with the ship. Even if it's into water full of shit.

[–] Madiator2011@lm.madiator.cloud 1 points 2 years ago
[–] _number8_@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

brilliant way to handle it. hopefully everyone shutting down gives out lemmy links

[–] supernikio2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (4 children)

What's going on? Why was it privated? Was everything archived? Where can I see old posts?
