Don't be discouraged by people saying these protests don't work, or by subreddits going public (kbin.social)

People discredit every type of protest, IRL or not. I think back to every major protest that's happened in response to some major event, and the response every time is "That won't ever work", "You're wasting your time", "Imagine caring about that".

This isn't the death of Reddit, not even close to it. Reddit may even get more popular after this. However, that doesn't mean all of this was pointless.

The Fediverse continues to grow, and that's genuinely a good thing. Every time a platform fucks up, people give X ActivityPub app a new set of eyes and continue to help developers strengthen these platforms and build up the community.

A lot of times the things we want don't happen in 1 big moment, it's a lot of continuous smaller moments that eventually form into something greater.

It's going to take a lot of effort to build out a new platform, especially one built off the concept of decentralization. I think we should continue to build our communities here, and do our best to help this platform thrive.

Pretty much this. People forget that email, social media, heck... even the Internet itself was dismissed as a fad at first. Decentralized social networking absolutely has its challenges, but in this "early adopter" phase, that is to be expected. The more the centralized services misstep, the better this federated system will work.

And who knows? Some of them might eventually federate too. After all, Tumblr was considering it!

Wouldn't "Fist fight the Mastodon!" be more appropriate in this case?
