for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I was always aware this could happen, but never expected it would happen. Reddit has been a part of my life for years. I never felt good about the company, but thanks to the communities on there, I found so many amazing things and learned so much. As absurd as it sounds, I had completely life changing moments begin on Reddit. So yeah, I'm sad about what happened, but I'm optimistic that we can build something better.
