How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

Reddit is too big to die quickly (unless they suffer a catastrophic failure), but it's easy to see that it was an inflection point for them, that it's downhill from here. Remember: at one point, it looked like Yahoo Directory and Internet Explorer would be around forever too.

Same for myspace. When was the last time that was relevant?

[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

They all died due to competitive market pressure. Reddit and Twitter are dying due to managerial incompetence. I believe that Threads will be stillborn due to managerial incompetence, but we are yet to see.

In these days of Zuckerberg and Musk, Tom would be a huge win.

[–] R51@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For that very same reason Tom said fuck all this, SOLD the whole thing and now lives his life doing whatever the f he wants. No way our boy Tom is about to come back with the whiteboard lmao he's got it good

Tom was my first Internet friend. I'm glad he's doing well

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I don't blame them.

Join Myspace: Hi, I'm Tom! I'm your friend!

Join Twitter: TUCKER CARLSON SAYS THE LIBERAL UFOS ARE GOING TO STEAL DONALD TRUMP'S HAIR!!!!!

Hahaha, it's an interesting point. Myspace does still exist. But it's a shell of it's former self. We can only hope that someday reddit will be too.
