Any citizen of the US that votes for this bozo should forfeit their citizenship.

No, your side are actual Nazis.

Lol I hope you’re getting paid to do your farcical trolling. I said nothing about repubs vs dems - YOU did. I just mentioned the racists, sexists and bigots that are the only ones on your side of this argument.

At this point, Republicans are the biggest non believers on the planet. Everything they think or due is driven by hate. How is that consistent with Biblical teachings?

Maybe. But it does change what YOU know to be the definition. Makes it easier to separate the people from the word.

So you’re making your own definition of woke and you don’t like the definition you’ve settled on. Got it.

Feel free to take the definition I’ve give you and use it to educate others.

I just gave you the definition of woke from the American politician who is the most “anti-woke”. How in the world can you interpret that definition as meaning it’s racist to treat all races equally?

Are you a racist, sexist bigot? If not, this woke stuff shouldn’t really bother you.

The definition of woke: “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

-Ron DeSantis chief counsel

Anyone that would argue woke is bad is a racist, sexist, bigot

You do realize that the US tried to switch to metric for 6 months in the 70s and it was a giant failure so we switched back, yes? Do you think 2023 America is smarter than 1970s America lol?

Edit: not sure why downvotes. I am in favor of switching US to metric. But historically it didn’t work.

More importantly, traffic is a trailing indicator. The protests and anger were from content creators and moderators. As they leave, the quality on Reddit will decrease significantly but that will take months/years. And the traffic will decrease but will follow the drop in quality content and moderation. Based upon the increased quality of posts on lemmy just in the last 3 weeks, many of the content creators have moved to the fediverse.

The real data point will come in a few months/years. On every social media platform, a small percentage of users drive the majority of content. On Twitter, for example, 25% of the users create 75% of the tweets. So estimating the effect of Redditgate by traffic is a poor metric (at best a trailing metric). Lots of lurkers (which is the vast majority of users) will still drive traffic until the content becomes worse. And for the many users and moderators of Reddit which were creating and curating nearly all the content, I’ve got to believe a significant percentage are irretrievably angered by their FREE efforts being dismissed by u/spez and have left. Just losing the efforts of the bot subreddit over the next few months will flood Reddit with exponentially increasing shitposts.

I think many are coming to Lemmy just based upon my anecdotal observation that the quality of posts on Lemmy has increased dramatically in the last 3 weeks.

But to give power to the users we’ve got to solve the username problem. Usernames need to be global so there is no penalty to moving between instances.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. I was referring specifically to performance metrics. Reddit v0.1 was down and crashing constantly.

As someone who used Reddit when it was first released, Lemmy is 10x better than Reddit v0.1 and obviously better than current Reddit.
