Thanks for bringing this up. I think I’ve heard this too and I have to say I’m of two minds about it.
In one end… I am frustrated with Reddit’s greed and I think they’ve lost most of my respect at this point. I think I’m kinda bitter toward them, so seeing them lose market share might bring me a bit of schadenfreude.
On the other hand, Reddit’s content quality really feels like it’s gone to crap in the last 5-6 years or so. When I came to Lemmy (and Mastodon), it was refreshing because the community seemed to have a bit of that scrappy, fringe attitude that I missed from early Reddit. I’d be sad if that went away due to over-population.
Basically, I like Lemmy and I want it to be even more successful so that algorithms have less control on our lives. At the same time, I dislike Reddit because they’re going whole-hog into enshittification. I guess I just convinced myself that I want Lemmy to continue to grow ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ya got ripped off
Thanks for sharing this perspective. Complacency won’t grow the userbase here.
I like to upvote posts with lots of debate around them even if so don’t agree with the OP because I want the OP to be encouraged. People should be rewarded for bringing thought-provoking content here, even if it’s imaginary points.
I’m glad you posted this here, because there’s obviously a lot of controversy about this.
I just realized I do this too. I need to hit myself with a folding chair.
I don’t end up playing new games much because I’m such a deal hog, so this is really nice to read :)
LOL, they’re hiring! Quick everyone, go and get a $160,000 job you’re not qualified for.

Looks to me like they work as a developer of the Salesforce platform for a company called Penrod.
Doesn’t make them any less of an idiot, but #justsayin
And yeah, Salesforce is a garbage fire of a company.
“fucking stupid”
Seth stans stand UP
You are not a buzzkill, I think. This skit had a couple of things going for it:
So in short, my friend, it’s not really funny. It was a moment, and you may have missed it. But let me say this, I think you’re cool for kicking off Spooky season…
… Almost as cool as DaViD ESS pUmKiNs!
…which one are you?
Now listen, if you want to keep buying from me, I won’t stop you. What’re you going to do with 8 lbs of garlic a week anyway? I gotta keep my stock up for the garlic festival coming up in a few weeks…
Pretty eye-opening stuff on how deranged cyber criminals can be.
