      I was so happy when I found lemmy. A great alternative to reddit with a small and kind community. I hope it doesn’t turn into the cancer that is reddit.

      I joined reddit in 2013. It was great until it wasn’t

        I blame the 5 mods who control the top 200 subs. I still think posting was better years ago. Could actually post comments.

    Reddit is just a bunch of bots, jerking each other purple. They don’t have any content worth locking.

    In other news, Lemmy will keep all its content open for free, making everything accessible to everyone.

      As a sidenote, do tip your instance operators, especially if you’re on a small instance. Upkeep isn’t free.

    Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.

    This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.

    Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!

      Reddit likely won’t die from one bad change, it’s going to slowly die to attrition as they keep putting shit like this in.

        It’s been slowly dying from attrition . It might be gaining users, but meaningful interactions and content production is down from 3 years ago.

      Could work well if it is implemented like a patreon community.

        In Patreon, the users are selling their content, in this case Reddit is paywalling user content without paying the users.

    I don’t really get it why would people want to post to a sub that hardly anyone can see and likely you won’t get any good amount of karma.

    likely I’m missing something but yeah I wouldn’t pay to see a sub I’d just look for a free one which likely already exists.

    I wonder if that’s what all the banned subs thing was about. Maybe “some content” = NSFW subs

    Well I will be no longer on Reddit then. I’m so sick of this fleecing us at every turn
