I swear some of y’all just get off on doomsaying.

Jesus, this is horrible

like?

I ain’t goin back.

Would be nice if they could reach out here.

holy fuck

i’m just some asshole with a 13+ year old account that would bitch and moan in the comments section

i can’t imagine dedicating so much of my time to build a wonderful community and then being unceremoniously cast away as part of a large purge of dissent

aww man, sh.itjust.works is a shit-filled instance??

it has a pretty solid simpsons shitpost community that may be hard to restart elsewhere

They don’t.

Despite how quickly trends/content can age on the internet, you shouldn’t mistake that for actual transitions in platforms.

There’s a ton of logistical and infrastructure-related issues that need to be sorted out, but you’re being defeatist if you don’t think that just because there haven’t been mass migrations within a year, any sort of shift is irrelevant.

Twitter and reddit have incredible momentum and it takes a long time to slow them down.

Just look at how desperate Twitter has been with their advertising - I don’t think anyone would say they haven’t suffered some incredible damage over the last 8 months

Exquisite

We comin for dat ass, Lemmy.ml

The lack of societal solidarity for the betterment of everyone is sad.

But that’s ok, reddit was never going to die after this protest.

I think what took place was a successful test of what alternatives exist out in the wild.

Now it’s up to those of us who migrated to post through the highs and lows of early adoption in order to encourage others to come and stick around when the next shitty move by Spez takes place.

For example, I migrated to Mastodon in late 2018 during an initial surge. And over the years tried to keep posting content so that when the next migration took place when Elon took the reigns, people were able to possibly feel more at home.

This shit takes time. A lot of time. But the internet is a big place and there’s plenty of opportunity for things to be better. We just can expect things to rush themselves

lol I respect the honesty

At least we aren’t on reddit complaining about reddit. That always seemed silly.

I’m definitely giving it a shot at being more of a content contributor. It’s given me a newfound respect for heavy contributors on subs that I’ve loved so much

For example, I’ve been doing my best to create a new simpsons shitpost once a day/every two days since I’ve moved over and it’s been a lot of fun

I didn’t even think of that.

Makes sense, it definitely helps provide a sense of solidarity amongst us users

I can’t deny that. At least now, instead of doing it on reddit we can do it on a different platform

Lmao, I can’t deny it is really entertaining seeing how creative people get with picking apart that dumbass ceo

Fair points, and outstanding analogy

Sure would be nice to foster new niche communities on Lemmy instead of talking about our obnoxious ex-platform

I guess I gotta get off my lazy ass this weekend and fuck up my comments
