Yeah, I think reddit is going to die (if only due to the process of enshittification and the consequences of going public) but the idea of a mass exodus is a bit of a dream. Anyone who has had a conversation going on in one channel, and then have a mod tell them to move it to a more appropriate channel should know this. The conversation doesn’t move, it just stops 9/10 times.

But we shouldn’t be preoccupied with reddit as a community. Give what you can to Lemmy and enjoy it for what it is, not wishing it to be reddit.

Same. Replacing doom scrolling on Reddit with posting on beehaw.

Hell, even if people move back to reddit, I’ve made the choice to stay on Lemmy, and give a small community everything I’ve got.

All I’m seeing is a place to upload video instructions to the tutorials I’m going to post here. Heh.

I agree with this whole heartedly. I think the issue, remote or at work, comes down to the fact that it isn’t the workers making the choice, but their boss. For me, I don’t do tech work, so I have to go into work because I’m legitimately doing work with my hands. And I like it that way. I know that if I had to work from home, I would become miserable QUICK. That’s just my personality.

But the choice is made from up high, from people who don’t give two shits about the workers. As with all things.

It seems that business has gone the way where, as long as you keep making profit, who cares if you have less customers? It’s such a backwards way of thinking when you actually apply it to reality. I wish I could find the article, but I remember there being a discussion about the trust threshold for businesses. Where, a business who constantly pulls moves like this makes more and more money out of fewer customers, until they suddenly pass a threshold of trust, and BAM! It all falls down.

Ofc, I know, it’s capitalism. The endless pursuit of profit and the expense of all else. It’s just… Exhausting to see it happen everywhere.

Just like Twitter banning any mention of mastodon. They can’t rely on keeping the product, users, on the site with a good website. So they just prolong the inevitable and do whatever they can to stop people from leaving. Enshittification, my beloathed.
