There's posts from mods who.... don't have to mod. A special group of people migrated here, that know what they want and are building it with their actions. Just keep being you. Post good content, thoughtful comments. Build it and they will come. Literally haven't logged back onto Reddit since Blackout and have just stopped thinking about them.

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.

MODERATORS
they aren't powerless, they just leave.
I'm keeping my 8 yo account on reddit exclusively until I save the replies to a post I once made. The replies are so helpful that I want to save them all in a notebook before I just delete the my account.
Apart from that, Reddit will be more of a search engine for me, for specific stuff, until it's impossible to navigate the site through old.reddit on a pc.
I´m genuienely baffled why the mods of those protesting subs didn´t, at least as a backup plan, also created an alternative community on here right away. Sure, in the beginning, they might have hoped the protests could work. But even after the first two days blackuot, it was pretty clear that Reddit didn´t care at all. So why even fight this fight and not just go "Well, have fun without us Reddit. And here´s a tutorial on how to join us over at lemmy." EDIT: I know some did. r/piracy I believe were pretty open about packing up and moving to lemmy. And as the days go by, more and more "stuff" I used Reddit for also pops up on some lemmy server or another. Still, an at least fairly organized move would have been nice.
