I hope they do block Google. That would be an interesting experiment, given how many people claim they put "reddit" in Google search boxes to attempt to get relevant results.
That would be great, I don't care for reddit results in my web searches to begin with. Lots of answers can be found in reddit, there is no denying that, but it's also likely one of the most manipulated sources of information on the web this side of Google itself.
We're in a hurry to move our community off of reddit and onto a dedicated Lemmy instance.
The one hold up we're waiting on is a functional automoderator. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a regex that can move posts/comments to a modqueue before they're publicly visible.
I spun up an EC2 instance with Lemmy's Ansible script a few months ago, but it's been sitting offline because trying to moderate tens of thousands of users without a bot is just plain foolish ime.
I check the repos every month or so, but there's been almost no movement on the automods, and unfortunately I don't think I have the time to build it myself.
