    Tons of crap like millions of “Fuck spez” all over the place, big ones and small ones, at one point they took up almost a 5th of the visible area. There were multiple statements about never forgetting what was taken from us or joining other social media. There were insults about spez in other languages and a guillotine with a snoo in it labeled Spez

      Best to just let them die. The ultimate revenge is not thinking about that site at all. Let them fade into obscurity.

        Sure, but that’s something for reddit users to do. There are 63k active Lemmy users monthly, and there are 430 million active Reddit users monthly. I dropped Reddit with the app death, but people are vastly overestimating the direct impact that Lemmy could possibly have on Reddit.

        Reddit’s not gonna start dying until the population starts migrating in significant amounts to alternatives, which is probably going to be a little cataclysmic for Lemmy.

          Things don’t happen overnight. I have noticed this platform improving as time goes on. I find incredible content with authentic, real discussion here. Everyday the content grows and the conversation threads become longer and more varied.

          It will grow if you let it.

            This is it exactly: the difference in the discussions and posts between when I joined a few weeks ago and now is striking. It’s reminding me of early reddit before the Digg migration and I’m hopeful it will continue to improve

      I get that they’d want to remove slurs from the board but did they really remove the “never forget what we lost” banner with the 3rd party app icons? Because that’s really just a peaceful protest and it would be very lame if they removed that…
