A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm not trying to say it is pointless, but I am trying to temper my expectations.
reddit likely did research beforehand, and thought that enough new users since 2017 wouldn't care, because it's quite clear they don't care about losing their older userbase.
I've seen users there mocking the protest. Even outrightly being hostile to individual users who post support. And when I look at their profiles I see that they are mostly 3 or 4-year-old accounts.
It seems that you are right. The users who came into Reddit accompanying its decline, simply do not care and are part of the mindless shitposters who partially ruined the site.
