    It’s so nice of Stevie boy to refer to his userbase as “noise”. Proof of how little he values the people who use his corner of the internet. Hopefully this wording of his will show how little he thinks of everyone.

      Good point, I do wonder what % of userbase are in support of these protest and what % don’t care? Seems like ~100k has joined these fediverse alternatives out of reddit’s 50,000,000 daily active users 0.2% if my tired maths hasn’t failed me.

      Not that I want the same userbase as reddit, far from it…

      My 50pence is that what reddit has fucked up is their monopoly on where these communities reside.

        What really matters is the mods and users that submit quality content. A million lurkers don’t really contribute.

          +1… I’d wager that a significant portion of that 0.2% (if indeed the number) is the most active / dedicated reddit users (power users). It’s the mods, active posters, etc that are creating and fostering content on the whole site. The rest of the lurkers won’t stay if there’s nothing engaging being posted or if the subs are an unmodded mess.

        This is true. Facebook also needs to die. But as long as these twats running the show keep on reinventing the wheel, users keep lapping it up.
