Despite this being the “official” nix community on the Fediverse, it seems quite inactive. Others like !nix@programming.dev and !nixos@infosec.pub are only slightly better.

I’m wondering if the admins would be okay with me configuring my fediverser instance to mirror reddit posts and comments here?

      To me it is another data point corroborating two things:

      • The large majority of “reddit protestors” really have a short attention span, and were not really interested in putting a fight against Reddit. As soon as the subs started opening again, it became a display of virtue to say “Fuck /u/spez”, but they all happily went back to the status quo.
      • Reddit is taking a look at this and thinking “we won”, which will embolden them to be more aggressive towards their plans. Mirroring content now is our best shot at creating a hedge against a future Reddit that will not hesitate to take more user-hostile actions if they think can increase their revenue.
