      Reminds me of the HD decryption key fiasco on digg. Everyone just kept posting it over and over in every thread. Moderators started banning people. People started jumping ship to Reddit.

      It’s what caused the first digg exodus, with the better known redesign failure being the second.

        I don’t get it. Reddit’s so much more egregious than digg was - why haven’t more users jumped ship? the soul of the platform was broken with the API change, yet most users stayed, and the ones who did leave haven’t shown up here.

        was Lemmy just not ready?

          Because the user experience didn’t change, so it wqsn’t obvious unless you kept up with specific news.

          Also, it’s still where all the porn is.

          They’ve also really amped up the content moderation bots and are on the warpath for anything perceived to be bot accounts. Shadow bans are being given out for accounts that are hours old and haven’t even posted.

      If you’d only said it three times, you would’ve summoned him. So close!
