After weeks of burning through users’ goodwill, Reddit is facing a moderator strike and an exodus of its most important users.

      I miss it. There’s just not enough people here. Refreshing doesn’t bring hardly anything new, none of my favorite communities exist, and where they do they’re so small that nothing gets posted for an entire day.

      Yeah I will stay hear. And not just because I burnt my account. I nearly found all communities I were active in. I try to be way more active and post more stuff than I used to because these new Comms really need all the love and content each and everyone of us can hring to them.

      This is how Lemmy and co can survive and thrive not by waiting for content to arrive.
