No idea what the deleted comment you replied to said, but I’m a big fan of bringing the word “dork” back!

Will it though? It’s essentially public info already, and is a core part of how Lemmy works.
I saw a comment making the good point that Reddit doesn’t have that thing which locks people into other social software - your friends using it, i.e. it doesn’t matter that some people will still use Reddit, you go for the content not the people. The Reddit management seem to think that they have something special, ignoring that there will likely be a measurable disappearance of content due to these changes. While this won’t “kill” Reddit, in ten years or so when someone’s writing a blog post called “what happened to Reddit?”, this event will probably be noted as one of those turning points that was the beginning of the end. Reddit will live on, but it won’t be the same beast that most of us actually liked using.
Fair enough!
Moving to a decentralised service like Lemmy didn’t line anyone’s pockets (well, except maybe the infrastructure provider, but that could be anyone!)
Exactly, who is using bog-standard texts and phonecalls in this day and age? Do they also use internet explorer because that’s the default too? Even if you’re not on Signal, everyone and their mums has WhatsApp, I don’t see how this is even an issue!
55% of what? The 0.001p of ad revenue from a single view?
This is very much their propaganda tactic, that by not watching ads you’re stealing from the poor content creators, when in reality they’re just chucking a few pennies to the people who actually made the videos. If you want to actually support the creators then donate to their patreon or whatever, but don’t pretend that watching ads or paying for premium is doing anything more than lining the pockets of investors.
We can definitely leave these copypasta comments on Reddit!
They’ve updated their ‘policy’, still with no accrual explanation that I can see:
