Let them keep Digging their own grave
Lemmy tell you, that was a good one.
I see, what you did there
I'm pretty sure "we're" not doing the r/place protest. Lemmy has 63k active users per month, per the most recent user stats. Reddit pre-protest had 52 million daily active users and 450 million monthly active users.
I'm sure Reddit's metrics have probably taken a hit, but it's going to be the future people leaving Reddit for alternatives that kill it, not Lemmings that have already jumped ship shunning it. One small subreddit could individually take over Lemmy.
I like Lemmy, but it's pure hubris to think that we would even be noticed by Reddit, outside of being a place to siphon users away to.

I won't forget Reddit entirely. For quite a few years , it was My Space....
Already on it. Haven't touched reddit in over a week.
Since end of last month when 3rd party api access was restricted.
I've spent ten minutes there. Down from ten hours.
Doomscrolling is completely gone. I now use it when it turns up in Google search results or very specific things such as copying threads I care about to Lemmy.
Can I advertise !league@lemmy.ml while I'm here? One of the biggest subs over there, and it's dead over here.

Didn't touch it for two weeks and realised I won't be needing an account anymore

I think it impossible to say if something like Lemmy and federated social media is going to replace Reddit, but it’s interesting participating in a potential shift and watching the evolution of how the internet organises itself.
I’m also quite shitfaced.
Very coherent comment considering your shitfacedness.
Shouts out to autocorrect 🤣
Upvote for being shitfaced.
Lemmy has already replaced Reddit. For me. It took three years.
I still visit reddit to get relevant info to cross post to the communities I'm keeping alive here on Lemmy. And I've noticed a significant decline in the subbs I used to frequent. I can't be the only one noticing this? I mean like it's extremely easy to notice as you might go days without content on several subreddits that used be active. They are niche subs, but still...
I'd have no way of knowing. They shut down the API so I guess I'll never know.

What's a reddit?
It's when you loved reading something, but you're finished now and it's all over, time to move on.

You realize that most people never even know what Reddit is nevermind who its CEO is.
Now, check who knows what Slashdot, Orkut and Digg were, and who ran them. Allow for a few years to pass.

If ignoring bad behavior makes children stop playing their attention game, then it should certainly work on a billionaire.
If Musk and Huffman are having a money-hungry-child competition, I can't tell who's winning
That means that neither is winning.
The fuck spez people will get tired eventually and either move on or stay on the site. Just move on at your own pace, thinking about it won't change much.
The irony of this post is astonishing
I see the irony of it
But here you are, on Lemmy, replying to it
I don’t know who that is but fuck that guy.
Please! So let it die!
A perfect death for whom?
Redis I think? Some sort of database caching thing.
Red-IT? Like the clown balloon?
Alright, well let’s stop posting about it. 
Just kill it with fire
Reddwhat? I have no recollection of any such thing.
Nowadays I mostly lurk Reddit very sporadically, tbh only when I finish with my Lemmy feed (doom scroll just got worse lol).
I dunno, I get a sort of schadenfreude when Reddit fucks up bigly but I can’t say that I care enough to want to see it fail. When they screw up, the feeling isn’t so much malicious gratification but more relief at finding something better before Huffman Musked it up. Given that there’s a full community devoted to gleefully watching reddit burn, my opinion is probably in the minority. Still, glad that lemmy’s so great.
Many of us including me would love to see it ;)

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
