It has been more than an year since the Reddit protests. Things only got worse since then. Most activity in popular mods seem to be from bots or corporate shills who are trying to push their product or service. For all intents and purposes, Reddit has ultimately won the war against the community.

Yet, it seems that there is no more talk about effective actions. The whole thing with Blackouts was nothing more than “a warning strike”. Very few people that “left” showed enough fortitude to stick to their guns and develop the alternatives.

We now have a set of tools that can help people:

• migrate from Reddit to a diverse set of Lemmy servers with a single click (using Reddit OAuth to automatically get their list of subreddits and find the best suitable server)
• Solve the content discovery problem (users get automatically subscribed to the communities that are replacing their subreddits)
• coordinate their migration efforts, by keeping track of “who is moving where”.

Would that be enough to get some renewed effort to ditch Reddit?

If not, what is missing?
