How Reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history

Users were outraged, but Reddit mostly won.

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    I think it’s really simple. People are just naturally resistant to change.

    In the early days of lemmy.world (literally 1 month ago), the instance was getting flooded with new sign ups, posts, and comments. Performance took a massive nosedive and thus impacting user experience and adoption.

    But other the past few weeks, stability has improved significantly. As long as the communities begin to rebuild and contribute useful content, I think over time it will be better than Reddit.
