I joined Reddit mostly because of one specific game focused community. When they went private during the protest and migrated to Lemmy, I followed suit. While Lemmy doesn’t have a lot of the functions Reddit had, I like it here more and want to stay.
After reading a bit about the protest, it resonated with me and in an attempt to support it I deleted my 7 year old account with all the content on it.
Now, I found out the said community will be opening their Subreddit again in a few days. They will keep their Lemmy instance open but I feel like the majority of people will return to Reddit because there’s years of content there already while they would have to build everything from scratch here.
I respect their decision but I feel fucking betrayed and need to went. Sorry if I chose the wrong place to do so.
I believe most if not all subreddits specified the period to go dark. I’d not count on thier statement even if they said for good since reddit managment can override their promise.
Do your part and start the sub here. They might engage if they see content being posted.
