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?

Sometimes it feels Lemmy community cares a bit too much about what happens on Reddit.
Let’s be honest, it is unlikely Reddit is going to die or change policy. And who cares.
I’m just happy there is much better alternative and I’m not looking back.
I spent over 10 years on that site. I’ll need a little longer than 8 days to get over how quickly it became a shitshow.
Thing is, it’s not really the site I care about, it was Apollo, my most-used and treasured app. WefWef is a great replacement but it’s not the same.
This is honestly my sentiment as well. I spent over a decade on Reddit practically every single day. Apollo was my first “pick up” app every morning and I’d average like 14 hours on it every week. I’d even set limits for how long I could be on it because I would spend so much time on Reddit. It’s going to take a while to fully break the addiction.
With Apollo gone, wedwef is a lovely replacement for Lemmy, but you’re right; it’s not the same, and I do still creep over to Reddit (via Safari, f—k their app) from time to time to check on the state of things and the smaller communities that will be slower to become “Lemmified”.
Maybe because I just left it 5 days ago or because I was embittered with everything that went down that I personally want reddit to fail. But maybe that too is unrealistic and with time, I may be able to care less and less, until I won’t anymore.
Its natural in the start, in a few months I think no one will talk about reddit
