Hey there, friend :)
I just wanted to mention to you directly that you are a human being and you have choices here.
First acknowledging that you do need to stay employed of course and I don’t blame you, as the worker, for helping Reddit during this moment. But there are these few moments each day at your work where you can make small, deliberate decisions on behalf of your fellow human beings over hollow corporate furtherance.
Just do a bit less each day. Forget to send an email here and there. Copy the wrong “Debbie” or “Todd” in that email that you do send - honest mistake. Forget to ban that mod you are asked to ban, or forget one in the group. If you’re feeling bold, get off of your work machine and reach out to those mods on a dummy account with a heads up.
Again, not your fault as an individual either in a broken system, but you probably have small opportunities every day to help the world (and hurt Reddit a bit). Embrace those opportunities.
We believe in you.
I’d say majority of the people on here are going to go back to reddit and this is just virtue signaling honestly
I already see a lot of these “lemmy says fuck you” on reddit
I can see some going back; Lemmy isn’t a perfect replacement for Reddit despite what some say.
I’m honestly on here more so that I have something when Baconreader dies as I’m not going to use the official app; but I’m still going to use Reddit.
I’m still going back from time to time to promote fediverse and participate in the protest posts. I’m still spending more time here though.
