Cool, I've heard that people love paying for access to their own content that used to be free.

This is a good time for anyone still on the site to share some Lemmy links.

No please. The Redditors that stayed are insane,I don't want them in here

Reddit has that effect. I admit I was a little unhinged when I came here, but either people calm down and start acting like real human beings, or else they realize they can't have their fun being trolls and they leave. It's a funny thing that happens when an entire platform is centered around people, not profit. Bots and ragebait are great for stonks - they drive "engagement" and inflate MAU - so they are pervasive on every platform with shareholders.

Oh dear Lord. Please don't. This is still a nice place.

Fucking exactly. It's regular users that turn everything to shit, or allow it to happen at least.
