It’s the only avenue that redditors have to fight back. If reddit gets its value from content and engagement, then by stripping reddit of its value is the only way to hurt it.

It’s very unfortunate, but redditors took the usefulness of it for granted it seems, as almost a 1 stop shop for archiving meaningful discussions. If enough discussions are destroyed, then less people will lean on it to get what they’re looking for and hopefully look elsewhere.

They could have easily handled this better, but a 30 day notice and just their behavior surrounding it? I hope they suffer from it. Just the way they handled the Apollo dev should speak volumes to how much goodwill they’re willing to burn for the sake of their goals.

Open a github issue, unless there’s already one there.

If you do, I could probably take a swing at it later if you give me a reference to it.

Lemmywinks? South park reference https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Lemmiwinks

Lemmywings? Like different wings of an overall government of lemmys?

The second point is what I find the biggest weakness of lemmy. I can understand the want or even need for an instance to have a duplicate of a community found elsewhere. But like you mention, this makes cross posting to reach a bigger breath of the same interest group an almost need.

Also reposts or duplicates of articles if you’re subscribed to both communities. How do you facilitate discussions when it’s fractured like that? Why would anyone be motivated to make the same point multiple times?
