Goodbye Reddit, hopefully Feddit is my forever home (self.feddituk)

Well, looks like Feddit (I hope there's a German one called Deddit) is now my home. I've been here a while and am enjoying the more intimate atmos.

Over the last couple of weeks I've downloaded all my reddit posts and comments, deleted all my reddit posts and comments and now, today, deleted my account.

Goodbye /u/TheWrongFusebox, you were a blast.

I think the tone of the other site will change, more than it already has.
And the audience changing will be part of that.
A lot of the old-time members joined when there was a strong "internet freedom" ethos, and may well have migrated away.

There will still be plenty of people there, and quite possibly those people are more profitable (less chance of running adblockers, more likely to click sponsored posts)

I’m going to start referring to it as “the other site” too now. Don’t mention it by name any more—kind of like ‘the Scottish play’.

I don't understand how people use the internet without an ad blocker, especially on mobile, every site is just pure cancer
