I've been on reddit for a long, long time and i've seen all the changes that have happened in the past decade. I spent a lot of time on Reddit, and have seen the slow infestation of bots, karma whores, and guerilla marketing disguised as posts.

I'm genuinely excited for the fediverse - it seems like an actual improvement over reddit, and not just a clone. There's a learning curve, but there was one when joining reddit too.

I participated in the migration to Voat, and saw how/why it failed. I'm more optimistic about the fediverse for various reasons, and I'm dedicating my time to helping this thrive.

I was a lurker on Voat, but I'm trying to be active here. I don't like modding, but I've even created my own community here, which is saying a lot given how lazy I am. Hope to interact with y'all more!

And if you're still reading this, i hope you don't mind a shoutout to my new community, maliciouscompliance - recreated this as it was one of my favorite places to lurk on reddit!

EDIT: since a few people asked - I posted in this comment below why I think lemmy has a much better chance than voat did
