Reddit Migration

I was always all-in on the fediverse. Reddit died a long time ago for me.

Along with most of the people here, the damage has been done in my opinion. I'd probably check in on Reddit more often, but refuse to be invested there as I was before.

I'm happy here, now

I've already moved on, period.

I've already deleted (nuked) my reddit account. I wouldn't go back, I was so sick of the tiktok videos and endless reposts.

They wont.

I deleted my account on Reddit because their handling of the situation didn’t really inspire confidence in the site’s future 🤷‍♂️I won’t be going back regardless.

Fediverse is a neat network model of integration of communities in the same way that integration happens in real life.

I actually ceased interacting on Reddit personally some time ago, and was just a lurker, using Relay to stay up to date with tech news. This was the last straw to remove the last vestiges of Reddit from my life. I've made a habit of reading HN and subscribing to RSS feeds, so Reddit was redundant anyways.

oh that boat has so sailed.

Can Reddit also un-slander the 3pa devs?

my return to Reddit has become conditional on spez being completely outed from any position at the company

why drag up the past .. the cesspool that is reddit cannot be trusted ever again and I for one will not be returning. fuck u/spez

I'm a user, not a customer. The changes only affect me because I use a piece of software. Regardless of what the company chooses to do, I'm not going to change that. I'll use the site, block the ads & scripts, and continue as normal.

The real win is having a viable place that people can go instead of Reddit, to force Reddit to compete and improve itself in general. (or have a place people can go if Reddit ultimately shuts down)

To that end, I would stay right here, and then someday if Reddit improves enough, maybe consider using both.

Good question. I only just created an account, but I don't know if I'd go back. I used sync for reddit (apparently being ported for lemmy) so if I can't keep using that I wouldn't browse reddit on my mobile.

I just hope some of the gaming communities and their users migrate over as well a lot of the tech support and branded subreddits - googling "X vacuum issue reddit" or "dragon scale farming botw reddit" will be hard to transition from. I don't think this will happen overnight.

Likewise, I think there needs to be a better way of handling duplicated federated instances as I can see this being annoying / a confusing turn off for new users.

The way they handle made me sick. Reddit will never be the same again for me.

I think I would be happy reading stuff on Reddit again but apart from that, my participation is over.

If community appointed mods are reinstated, and API pricing is set at an actual reasonable rate, I would go back. Punish bad behaviour, reward good behaviour - otherwise what is the point of strikes/protests in the first place?

The point of this particular protest was to show Reddit that We The People are the ones generating content, and therefore revenue, and that means we deserve to be respected and valued appropriately. This protest is a lesson on greed both for the Reddit owners and the wider user base who aren’t as aware or invested as those protesting.

Then I'll use it when it pops up on duckduckgo when I'm looking for troubleshooting or stuff. Fediverse is now my procrastination hub.

Imagine we're at the point where the Titanic has split in two, and the remaining portion is held afloat by trapped air. You can patch the hole made by the iceberg, but it probably won't change my plans too much.

Honestly, I would probably be using both, in that case. The Threadiverse feels a lot like the early days of Reddit and I would love to be part of it and see it grow up. Assuming this keeps expanding, it's too late for me to go back to exclusively using Reddit at this point. Giga brain Mr. Huffman made sure of that.

However, there are numerous great communities at Reddit that haven't found a place here yet. Especially many of the smaller subs that were already very niche as it is, and that one probably won't not find anywhere else anytime soon.

I'm already regularly using multiple different sites as it is. Both larger international ones, as well as smaller local blogs and forums. I don't personally see an issue by itself to keep both Reddit and Kbin on that list.

Hopefully, we will see entirely new communities pop up and grow in the Threadiverse. That is, communities that aren't just different flavours of "Reddit sucks". Not saying it's not entertaining, but I think we need to broaden the scope a bit going forward. :)

Depends what they said. If they did a full and meaningful apology it would feel a bit hypocritical to stay away from reddit to be honest. Tough call.

I might end up on Reddit when googling for answers but I wouldn't go back full time. It has been very clear from the past few days that spez and co are not to be trusted. I like kbin a lot, I feel adults are having actual mature conversations instead of the insult matches that happen on Reddit. And I have contributed here more than I have in the 10 years of using Reddit.

Continue to use kbin.

There are two communities that I'll stay on Reddit for, but my interest even in them is dying (and was dying even before this spez idiocy).

As for the other 80% of my participation on forums, I have liked what I'm seeing on the Reddit alternatives and I am likely going to get my cup filled there. So, for me, this whole shitshow has been a win and not a loss.

I'm just done with reddit.

the damage is done, why support a company that treats their userbase so disrespectfully?

Nice try spez, I'm not telling you what my plans are

Only way I can go back is if spez steps down. I can’t trust anything to go right with Reddit while he’s in charge.
