Honestly at this point I'm more the opposite. I want Lemmy and kbin to win, and I don't care much about Reddit losing or not. I think they're going to go on, just shittier. Just like Facebook and Twitter.

I don't need lemmy to "win". Winnng implies an agreed rule set and goals. What reddit admins want out of reddit and what I want out of an internet experience are completely different.
I’m committed to Lemmy at this point, but it is nice to light a few fires at Reddit as I’m walking out the door.
"Oh, four! I mean five! I mean fire!"
"I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire."
- Reddit execs and admins making more decisions and public statements
I got myself perma-banned in a few subs by calling out morons for being morons.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But but, my app says reddit is fun they even have an acronym rif. Oh sorry that app doesn’t exist I must be thinking about something else.
I thought the acronym stands for "reddit is F*cked!"
You can swear here. Try it out: Fucked
But yeah, I'm going to miss RIF, it was the best way to use Reddit on Android :-/
Fuck going miss RIF. But glad to be here on Lemmy. Maybe we can get a Lemmy is Fun app.
Sadly, the Dev of RiF - talklittle went to Tildes.Net, which while open source and donation run, is not decentralized/federated
So unless someone else makes something similar or the talklittle also decited to use Lemmy at the same time, I'd say it's unlikely.
But currently there are around 10 apps in development for various platforms for lemmy - I myself will try Sync For Lemmy, along with any others I can find to see if I can find one that suits me better than Jerboa or a PWA. (Currently using both)
I moderate a subreddit that has zero traffic. I received my threatening letter yesterday saying that if I didn't re-open, there would be a follow up from reddit with what the next steps would be in the coming days.
I like to think that such DMs are not automatic but spez personally goes over private subs to threaten mods. Because the guy who edited user comments is just that petty.
They mass sent it out to everyone, regardless if the sub used to be private or not.
I hope that everyone invested in reddit loses money in the ipo
That's the worderful thing about the fediverse. It doesn't matter if one instance dies; there will always be another.
It's now all John Oliver as far as the eye can see.
