Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there’s a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.
It’s still down 10 hours later!
This is big. Something is happening there.
nah it’s operational, it was only down for a short while: https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/
It was down when I posted that comment. I went to sleep with Reddit down and woke up with Reddit down. I read people here saying that it was down at different times in that period. I was a bit hopeful that this was the end of Reddit.
I’m so sorry for my mistake, I hope you guys can forgive me some day.
I will never be able to forgive you. This was an unforgivable mistake. /s
And nothing of value was lost.
Don’t kid yourself. Reddit was valuable to pretty much all of you or else you wouldn’t continuously shitpost about it.
Also I know you’re a former redditor because you’re parroting the same tired-ass old line that is top comment on every thread about something bad happening to someone or some thing they don’t like. Get some new material.EDIT: Speaking of getting new material, I should try not to be as snarky. Get the alien out of your head, my man. We don’t need to do that to entertain ourselves anymore. I apologize to @errer@lemmy.world, and I take that shit back. I hope you got a laugh out of it as intended, even though there was no real way to tell it was supposed to be a bit cheeky.
It did still frustrate me to see all that knowledge just hand-waved like what happened was no big deal. I guess “couldn’t have happened to a nicer boardroom” or something would have clicked better lol but I’d imagine we’re probably on the same page about it at the end of the day.
Anyway, let’s all be cool, Lemmy fucking rocks, we’re nice here, save the sarcasm for mocking actual malice instead of eating each other. I’ll try to be better.
Why are so many people openly hostile towards redditors? Are you trying to get us to leave?
What you’re failing to realize is that Lemmy needs new users in order to grow. You may not like the bitching, but it keeps conversations going which drives more engagement to the site.
Stop trying to push people away from the platform. People need an alternative to reddit. They’ve been a monopoly since 2010; it’s time for that to change. Won’t happen if redditors don’t want to come here because they feel unwanted.
So please, try to chill the fuck out. And leave us be.
Uhm, dude has his account for two months, so I think it’s save to assume he also is a Reddit refuge. Oh, you know what, it actually says so in his profile.
