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.

Honestly? Not really, actually I am glad things are getting mixed up again.

While twitter is slowly burning out, and with reddit just deciding to randomly self-destruct, this leaves a lot of space for this project which I find absolutely amazing.

This thing has potential to become so much more than reddit could ever become, and it feels so... Wild-west? Not 4chan style bs but like small communities can persist in a dark corner for a long time, and have less problems of exploding out of control with bots and frequent reposts...

Of course the 'main' instance is seeing some problems atm, but that'll push people away from it and toward smaller instances.

This is going to be great, I want to be a part pf this journey
