It’s more than that. Would you devote 1-5% of your PC resources to others while you watch a video, if you could watch a video without ads? Yes. I bet so.
We are able to easily shoulder the burdens of hosting, yet Google wants to dominate us and force us to use their hosting at the psychological cost of being their sponge for anyone’s paid information campaign. YouTube in 2016 was non-stop Trump ads. Non fucking stop.
FUCK Google.
Yeah, but I do think a lot of clueless folks won’t leave. Honestly, I wonder if reddit is undergoing a massive brain-drain right now. I rather hope so, because it would mean Lemmy is getting some high-grade folks.
This is pretty much why I’m here… It feels like the folks who left are going to be good company.

Now for Reddit also still works, though I’ve only launched it long enough to check a few times today… It’s best to give reddit as little traffic as we can right now. That insufferable douch-weasle Spez needs to see Reddit’s Fidelity value drop again.
A fall in traffic and engagement will at least alarm Reddit’s internal staff. All the bad press may help as well, though… And enough people dropping off will also be noticeable.
Who knows, though… I like Lemmy better, so far. I’m not sure I’m even protesting at this point. I didn’t even plan to actually fully leave reddit, but at this stage… This is nice.
Just an FYI - some apps are still working as of this moment… But yeah, most of us know it’s only a matter of time.
Honestly, the content seems higher quality here. Perhaps the cesspools of Reddit were hard to spot for those of us who lurked there for over a decade.
Quality over quantity. Cheers to a new horizon, everyone.
They are. As an American I don’t get why my Canadian friends are so engaged. It’s not right.
