Is anyone surprised?

To the surprise of literally nobody. Oh well. Enjoy the mass exodus when people stop using reddit because it no longer props up google. Maybe it'll hurt Reddit and Google 😍

Already deleted my account. Feels good. The more I think about it, the more the fediverse feels like a saviour for the internet. It should be a no brainer that any single company that makes a social media will sooner or later try to do anything they can to profit 110% from their users.

Lemmy and other decentralized plattforms seems more like how the internet is supposed to be. No one owns any greater part of it. This is history in the making, the time we got the internet back!

I'm looking forward to what Lemmy will bring! Brb deleting my reddit account.

PCMag is pretty much covering the disastrous AMA spez hosted.

We'll see if they change their tune at all once the many subreddits go dark.
