I arrived a few weeks ago. The place has grown an order of magnitude in just a few weeks, content is starting to appear, and little bugs are being ironed out.
It’s not Reddit and there’s a lot of work to do, but you know what, it’s already grown on me and I don’t even miss Reddit anymore.
Plus, I’m single-handedly populating !AFL for if/when people come across. Who knows, maybe it will boom one day and I’ll be the guy who started it off.
Lemmy ticles the reddit desiring part of my brain enough that it takes the edge off and I don't even miss reddit anymore. I go there to watch some war videos (and porn) but other than that I'm quite happy here and still sticking to my decision to permanently distance myself from there.
I am always afraid that will back fire and people will be like "look at this weirdo talking to themselves".
Haha, that’s literally me at the moment.
We appreciate your hard work!
I think it's pretty amusing to see the anti protest comments whenever redditors get up in arms about an issue. There's always this reactive impulse (in some) to downplay it as a tempest in a teapot that'll never work.
But if Reddit admins are so resistant despite the horrific optics, it must be important. They're creating terrible sentiment right ahead of IPO. You don't do that shit unless you have no choice. The fact that massive protests don't work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.
Besides, sometimes you protest not to change things, but so that shit doesn't change you. Otherwise you'll take whatever comes your way and you'll be dead long before you've stopped breathing.

Great way to put it!
I do think protests achieved so much. They made a lot of noise, put spez's terrible handling of the situation under the spotlight right before IPO.
And honestly, even if spez doesn't go back on the API pricing (which he probably won't), having subreddits protesting and fleeing to the fediverse puts the writing on the wall for other shitty platforms (current or to come).
Back when Elon started destroying twitter I did not get how mastodon worked, but I do see myself working around it now I figured out kbin (although Im not on twitter all that much to justify switching right now), can imagine is the case for anyone fleeing to the fediverse.

This logic assumes logical thinking. While I think you're right -- there's some factor at play that has not been publicized -- this could still be nothing more than an ego trip.
Whoa. That shit’s deep man. I’m totally stealing it.
I stole it too. Megustalations
Welcome Reddit refugee! The situation is infuriating for us all. I hope you find this a suitable new home!
I do hope the moderators jump over! They have a place here on Lemmy waiting for them!
Thx alot aer This place feels like home
At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!
That's actually very infuriating.

Welcome to all of the new refugees! This place has been awesome so far.
ive only been using it for roughly an hour or so now but it already feels like a place i can gladly call home. I'd love to host my own server at some point but being unfamiliar with linux really hurts. Thats what I think i love most about this whole concept, its like the shard from sword art online. So many "worlds" or "communities" can spring up with the software in place if one lemmy server gets too uppity.
I hope they do, and bring their subscribers with them.
Good decision. Reddit has made so many bad decisions lately.
People there seem to dont give a flying duck or are unaware whats up. All the communities that seem to carry subs I followed there arent that much active. At least for now - hope that soon this will change. Also, welcome o/
Let's wait till July 1st, we might see 2nd wave of refugees :)
Ye, Im curious how things gonna play out
I think it depends on the subreddit. I haven't spent much time beyond deleting and editing comments to reflect protest, but I did see a thread in r/tech with all the top comments supporting. Obviously the subs that voted to do malicious compliance are sympathetic to the cause, too.
Welcome! Here are many friendly people who are willing to make this community a cosy place. :>
Welcome onboard!
I did too. Welcome to us!
As did I. Was sort of okay with third party apps being blocked, but the whole mod replacement thing is unfortunate and has caused my favourite subreddits to go down pretty much indefinitely.
What mildly infuriates me is that I don't know what was in today's headlines so I have to look it up.
Welcome & have fun!
