The sub was closed as part of the protests.
Edit: this news has developed, the new mod deleted their account and the post. I didn't get a screenshot of the original post, but if anyone supplies one I'll link it here.

What a shitfest. Reddit is now a true autocracy and people are gobbling up their disinformation. It’s sad, truly.
People are just to lazy to change things they're bothered by. Why stand up for yourself when you have to change your behavior?
I had Reddit withdrawal symptoms for maybe the first 2 weeks, but now I'm hooked on Lemmy and it feels great!
In opposition to your username, that makes total sense. I frequently get baffled by people doing this IRL.
I recently went to a concert where due to unforeseen circumstances, the view of like 100 people was completely obstructed. I mean sure, its a concert, you still can listen, but it massively impacts the value they get for their money in comparison to others.
So, being one of those 100 people, I went to the people managing the concert and asked what to do about it. I was given a free ticket for prime seats with great view which pretty much doubled the value I got for my money. I asked others who were impacted to follow me but they had other „priorities“ which then made me the only one getting an upgrade.
I felt pretty bad about it but that’s my own problem. The fact that people can’t be bothered to stand up for themselves is a mystery to me.
Have a good one. :)
Nah, it's not laziness, it's just a bad trade for many people as of now. Because there's not that much content on lemmy for now, especially for more niche topics. And nobody wants to start a thing. They just want to lurk or ask questions, not post stuff/moderate. At least that's my impression from the people that don't wanna switch.
Example: path of exile. There's one post from 5 days ago and the rest are 8 days or older. So naturally everyone that wants to talk about it is still on reddit, unfortunately
Yeah, it's not even niche topics, it's almost everything outside of technology. Almost all of the creative communities I used to follow on Reddit have practically no associated activity on the Fediverse. None of the photography communities have really picked up on Lemmy/Kbin either.
There's some photographers over on Pixelfed but finding content or accounts to follow is pretty bad. I follow maybe a handful of people whose photos I like to look at, and the only mechanism to find good noteworthy accounts is the trending section - which I check daily but it's mostly the same handful of people everyday. Scrolling to the public feed or trying to follow generic photography hashtags mostly nets me memes, porn and random pics which aren't photography at all.
I stopped going to Reddit as much, came over here, after a few weeks I'm not using this as much anymore either, so I'm mostly trying to do more useful things with the time. Though I'm sad that I've lost a few communities in the way.
Like, it always has been that way. It's a private company with an owner who decides what's gonna happen. The opinion of masses is only having changed on that from being praised to finally becoming an evil bastion.
