All the worthwhile content creators will (or already have) move on and it'll be even more of AI generated content circlejerk than it already is. No one should feel sorry for lurkers being lazy.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
Can we please keep the Reddit spam in the specific Reddit-centered communities? I'm trying to stop paying attention to Reddit.
I wonder what would happen if redditors just start ignoring rules... 🤔
They'd get banned
They'd get banned.
The power lies in leaving Reddit behind.
If they are sick of it then come here or to Lemmy.
they aren't powerless, they just leave.
The ones who stay probably do see themselves as powerless, which is a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy.
There's posts from mods who.... don't have to mod. A special group of people migrated here, that know what they want and are building it with their actions. Just keep being you. Post good content, thoughtful comments. Build it and they will come. Literally haven't logged back onto Reddit since Blackout and have just stopped thinking about them.
I´m genuienely baffled why the mods of those protesting subs didn´t, at least as a backup plan, also created an alternative community on here right away. Sure, in the beginning, they might have hoped the protests could work. But even after the first two days blackuot, it was pretty clear that Reddit didn´t care at all. So why even fight this fight and not just go "Well, have fun without us Reddit. And here´s a tutorial on how to join us over at lemmy." EDIT: I know some did. r/piracy I believe were pretty open about packing up and moving to lemmy. And as the days go by, more and more "stuff" I used Reddit for also pops up on some lemmy server or another. Still, an at least fairly organized move would have been nice.
The only issue with the dynamic is that Redditors were too fixated with their position as “moderator” and were willing to acquiesce just to keep it. If they simply refused the free labor they’re giving a corporation who’s seeking profit by near any cost, they’d have had impact.
