Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon." (kbin.social)

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it's important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?

I've personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.

Pretty much done with Reddit. There are a few niche hobby and interest communities I might check in on, but it's going to be where I spend the majority of my time online. There's just nothing I get from Reddit that I can't find elsewhere. Besides there are probably better ways to use all the time I used to waste scrolling through my Reddit feed.

Honestly it's kind of nice having a full fledged app in my pocket to burn time with. Though I'm not opposed to one for kbin (or the existing one for lemmy), it's been pretty refreshing just having my access mostly be limited to desktop. I do find myself more centered on what's happening in front of me when I'm out and about.

I hope we see even more niche communities see growth on different instances. I've noticed quite a few are popping up with subscribers, they just need participation from the community more than anything. I think they will get that as more people adopt the platform.
