FrostBolt

I just made this username a week ago. I see there's a Twitch person who goes by IFrostBolt and has 362K followers, and that's definitely not me, haha.

Is there a similar account that tracks Lemmy or kbin user counts?

Cute, I love it

Thanks for sharing

This is glorious 🤣

Can confirm

I noticed it months (?) ago. When I would do Share -> Copy Image in iOS official reddit app, it would add the attribution/watermark

Not a day passes until another hilarious "press statement" from that spez

It really is something new every day, isn't it? And it's begun to be entertaining to watch the collapse

To quote a reddit admin's (kn0thing) -11k downvoted comment from an infamous incident 8 years ago:

Popcorn tastes good.

Exactly! And they cynically finally started working on moderation tools AFTER the protest (apparently the built-in mod tools had been garbage for years...)

The only thing holding people there, much like Twitter, is their addiction. I admit I miss it

I feel that too, though I'm heartened to see tens of thousands of people joining here, and already it's feeling lively. Just yesterday I asked a random question of the m/scifi (no idea how to link to magazines heh) and it's gotten half a dozen replies :-D

Nice on mentioning fediverse in the sub description too. I hope more reddit mods do that!

They can’t keep their story straight. First the protest is “noise” that will “blow over”. Now they’re forcing subs to re-open.

Look, even if the protest “fails”, they stick to the API pricing, and forcefully re-open subs, some things will be obvious and for everyone to see that weren’t before:

• spez is lying and isn’t trustworthy
• reddit cares more about IPO positioning and money than the health of the community
• people are willing to explore alternatives like this fediverse

Thank you for the transparency
