A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn't work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.

Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.

I've heard that cited in stories, usually older. A baby dies and they blame someone leaving the door open too long and letting in a draft.
