The most effective protests against your capitalist overlords are to strike or boycott.
Everything else is just begging.
Ehh… There are more extreme things, but then that starts being something other than “protest”.
At least these people are wasting imgur resources and removing value by cluttering up the site. If they’d keep it up and actually battle the shitlords, it’d be better than a bitchboi boycott.
Same. Imgur had a bad reputation for years but I didn’t know why. 404 explains that it has the same fate as reddit. Nothing will change then. Users will complain a lot but not move to another site.
To keep with the reddit comparison, there were a lot of bad events that should have triggered a massive migration, but it didn’t happen. People stayed on reddit and they still complain without doing anything about it.
But imagine having to choose a server from which to access the fediverse! This is just too complicated!
Tbf that’s a big deal for Mastodon aka Fediverse, not so much on the Threadiverse with K/Mbin, Lemmy, or PieFed.
And the tools that exist to help are laughably bad - the last time I tried the auto-selector website it chose for me hexbear.net, and I noticed Lemmy.ml was prominently displayed up high in their listing (surely the Windows-using centrists and conservatives on Reddit will have no problems joining that extremist leftist instance of FOSS enthusiasts… r-r-right?!).
