Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.

The blackout was useless because most subreddits didn’t even provide an alternative on Lemmy or elsewhere.

The ones that did picked… Discord.

Because a chatroom with the exact same issues they were blacking out Reddit over embracing was going to be a viable alternative to a community forum.

Man I really don’t get how discord has become the default for so many things. It’s chat. It’s persistent, but not in a way that’s easy to look through. Like, support forums or discussions about things that aren’t just fleeting? Whyyy

It’s free and easy to set up, plus pretty much everyone already has an account
