I haven’t yet deleted my Reddit account, but I will. I’m pissed that Reddit is doing what its doing. I’m kind of waiting for Lemmy to grow in popularity so that there’s more available than delete my Reddit account completely. In the meantime, how can I fuck with Reddit and help people on Reddit move to Lemmy?
What can I do in the meantime while on Reddit in protest as an average user of Reddit?’
I don’t mind doing something undercover so long as its not too illegal.
Ya know, you could just stop using reddit and help Lemmy grow by sharing content and discourse. It’s nice here.
Reddit lives from user engagement. Even bad ones mean ad view = profit.
So the best protest is not to use it in any way.
- Create interesting content on your Lemmy instance.
- Participate in discussions on your Lemmy instance.
- Tell friends and acquaintances about Lemmy without missionizing.
- Create for example content on your blog that points to Lemmy.
All this should be much more useful than doing anything on Reddit.
Maybe stop giving a fuck notburneddown ?
Whatever you do, Reddit is on its path to corporate enshittification and it’s unlikely that you can ever change it. Just move on with stuff.
Is there really anything you can do that’s better than nothing at all? Using it, interacting with people, letting them serve you ads all keep reddit going, if only a little. Reddit the company is determined to kill their product, so take the hint and let them. Just disengage, and if you aren’t too nostalgic, take your data with you.
