I love it. Especially that the mods of the default subs have the balls to do it

Meanwhile redditors on /r/piracy kicked their own mod for continuing the protest. I think their Lemmy migration to lemmy.dbzer0.com is a bit too effective and now only loyal redditors left at that sub.
On the flipside piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a lot better content and discussion than /r/piracy where it's mostly the same memes reposted every few weeks.
turns out it's not a good idea to piss off the unpaid people put in charge of front page subreddits
As much as I'd love to log into Reddit and see this go down, I'm happy just not using Reddit. How much longer do you think they'll hold out?
Its going to be a while. Most content creators especially comic artists, streamers and youtubers are still on reddit. Their fans are there, and its unlikely they'll budge until the comic artists post here too, or the mods of the youtube communities announce a migration.
Do not underestimate average people's resilience to enshittification
I fear this is true. 🤦
You can train mice or pigeons to hit a button for reward, but the button has to dispense reward pretty much 100%. Once they're trained, you can dial down the reward - 50%, 25%...1% - and they'll keep mashing that button, doing work for free. Human buttons and rewards may be more complicated, but it's the same thing.
