There were numerous factors that led to the revolution, but a key one was unfair taxation. The British parliament was in a position of power and thought that they could behave with impunity for further profits.
We all attack Spez, but he doesn’t own Reddit anymore. He is not acting alone. There are other rich and powerful people in the shadows backing his actions. They too thought they could behave with impunity.
Let what’s happened since June 12th be an inspiration for future netizens. Power to the people who left and to the mods who continue to resist.
Here’s to us!
This is a reach.
This is the second time I’ve seen something on kbin trying to dress the reddit migration to the Fediverse up as some hugely patriotic thing.
We don’t need that, we don’t benefit from it. This is how you create demagogues. Don’t infuse nationalism into the Fediverse. That is super problematic and I think you’re going to be in for a rude awakening when you see how much more European the Fediverse is than reddit was.
Yeah as a non American I have to admit I find this super weird.
We did not win control over Reddit in a war with Spez. We are not Reddit. The analogy doesn’t make any sense.
As an incredibly patriotic American, I also find this super weird. Even if the analogy did make sense, it’s just such a weird comparison.

“Landed gentry”, indeed.
It’s kinda strange that Reddit make api changes, netflix limited sharing, Twitter has problem with paying bills, YouTube blocking ad block.
Not only that, Meta to launch Twitter alternative and they can mess up the fediverse

And Google’s new privacy policy states that it can use publicly available data to help train its AI models
Power to the people!
Fuck spez.
To the Fediverse!
