Looking at this thread in r/technology, it sure looks like most of the newer Redditors were just pissed by the blackout and don’t care about Reddit’s changes. That suggests to me that Reddit is beyond saving.
As someone who joined Reddit nearly 15 years ago, I can tell you it's been that way basically forever. The new people by and large never care about the changes that make the site worse. They never have. I'm sure there were even changes in the few years of its existence before I found it that I didn't care about when I got there.
Honestly I've been slowly changing my mindset from "I hope everyone on Reddit comes to Lemmy and Reddit shuts down". Because I realized what's more important is that I'M happy -and the community on Lemmy is already great. Let sleeping dogs lie. Even if reddit sticks around and succeeds that's great bc I've found my people.
