To the surprise of literally nobody. Oh well. Enjoy the mass exodus when people stop using reddit because it no longer props up google. Maybe it’ll hurt Reddit and Google 😍

It’s already bad with the blackouts. Maybe Bing will finally have its day in the sun lol

They’re not gonna repeal anything. The only thing that will stop this is by Reddit dying and becoming a part of web history, which is hopefully on its way to happening.

I’ve been a heavy forum user for well beyond half my life, and the social media boom ruined that whole world such that all I really have now is reddit, so I’m pretty upset about it honestly. I’m sure it’ll eventually be fine, but the uncertainty sucks right now.

I’m used to the shit I do online eventually being replaced by something else that’s better, as I eventually forget the old thing exists for a while. This is a much more harsh ending to Reddit, so I’m really hoping Lemmy becomes all it can be with a healthy community.

I think this is honestly the biggest issue. Web search has been garbage for years, with legit the only saving grace being Reddit users sharing their knowledge. This is gonna have a horrible effect on producing good search results.
