At least in terms of the communities popping up. A lot of them (even ones I made), are just the Lemmy version of Reddit subs. Is that a good/bad thing? Time will tell, but at the moment I think it’s kinda funny of what’s happening.

To frame it a different way, there was nothing special about Reddit except the community, and that community can live anywhere.
What’s funny is not that a community migrated, because we’ve seen communities migrate before. But what’s funny is that the Reddit administrators didn’t expect it or don’t care.
Imagine working in a factory and telling your truck drivers, who you depend on to get product to stores, to take a hike.
That’s what scummy bosses like to do, and then they act shocked when workers call their bluff.

!workreform@lemmy.world should be a working link.
Edit: nevermind that’s still not quite right somehow.

Clicked on that link twice. Both times Jerboa crashed. 😂
Yes, this is a known problem. We should probably write links in multiple forms for now.

That’s fine I understand :)
Hopefully that markdown will get automatically implemented at some point in the not-too-distant future, so doing that won’t be necessary.
Same with the !workreform@lemmy.world syntax.
Until a sub has even 1/100 of the activity on here compared to reddit why would they care?
edit: Even then, they’re hoping to have cashed out by then so they still won’t care as long as the IPO goes smoothly
On the one hand you’re absolutely on point. It’s all about the money, not the quality.
But some people also care about their reputation. Some people value integrity and progress. I wonder what story they tell themselves. Or do they.
