we’re the product, not the customer. reddit doesn’t own anything of value that we can’t have for ourselves or do for ourselves here, or on other, non-reddit communication networks. they didn’t want us to leave, they wanted us to change behavior to match their vision. instead, we’re here, having this conversation away from their influence. we won this small victory in a grander fight against hypercapitalism. the real challenge is that the banks choose winners and losers
Wrong. Reddit has a tremendous amount of diverse information. Lemmy is empty. It fills the hole for most basic news and stupid memes, but that’s it. Lemmy doesn’t have technical information. Technical dialogs (the only variant of useful dialogs) are impossible here.
that we can’t have for ourselves or do for ourselves here
Staying put and giving Reddit money is the real loss. We fundamentally disagree about what the fight is and what winning looks like. Also I don’t know where you’re reaching your conclusion that there’s no technical information here. We have wikis, we have discussions, we have high quality interactions. But the core essence of how we think we take the power back on the internet is different, and we’re not ever going to overcome this, so I think this is the end of the conversation

Oh yes. We can. But we don’t.
Running away isn’t a victory.

Like hell it isn’t a victory. You love Reddit so much, get the fuck outta here
