Asklemmy

Oh yeah, I mean I find my self wanting to check it right now even, not checking reddit is giving me a huge sense of FOMO but that is reason enough alone to make me want to leave it lmao

For me it's like moving to a small town. Instead of a whole scene into each if my weird interests it's just a few cool people. But thats just a function of population.

Yes. It feels like moving to a new town and having to meet new neighbours, make new friends, know the neighbourhood and all that

The new girl is hot though

Yeah, totally. But I'm also finding extremely cool Lemmy and the concept behind the fediverse

Not at all. Probably because I was not a mod of any subreddit. I've commented every now and then, but that bit is the same here.

i'm sad that reddit is dogshit, but excited to watch lemmy grow and to have the opportunity to be a part of its growth

Kind of - I'd just hung around because they hadn't given me a single, strong reason to leave. 3rd party apps getting crushed was the kick up the ass I needed

No. I am very happy at discovering a new place. I also miss the social media, pre 2010s. like in 2005, it was amazing and people felt much closer. One had a feeling that everyone is genuinely here to help and enjoy while socializing, rather than karma farming.

I am talking before Facebook grew big. The time of Orkut, Gazzag, old reddit, Slashdot. or even yahoo messenger, mIRC, before all those websites became a thing. I was not afraid of posting something, and wasn't looking for votes, or afraid of down votes. Main aim of contributing to a post of joining in the discussion.

I think everything trends this way. I almost feel more excited for new opportunities in new platforms than disappointed at reddit.

My big fear right now is that Bandcamp will try to emulate Sp0tify instead of enhancing their unique strengths. Then I'd be seriously disappointed, and musically homeless.

Not really sad. I never found reddit inspired deep connections to communities anyways. It's not so bad to change things up now and again.

My main issue is all the useful information that might be gone with a decent chunk of people editing and removing their comments or even subreddits going private
Otherwise, I got perma-banned from Reddit for commenting the navy seal copypasta in a thread where people were clearly sarcastic so I don't care

Yes, i do. I just deleted my main account using the PowerDeleteSuite, I am (was) used to log in every morning. I will miss it, but it was inevitable; eventually, al social media platforms die off due to "enshittification".

I hope for a long stay with Lemmy! I deleted Facebook in 2011, Twitter when Musk bought it, never jumped on Instagram, Tumblr or Tiktok. Stumbleupon for me died when the VCC capital forced the site to redirect to advertised pages. Popurls is now upstract.com, a shadow of its former self....oh well. I guess I am getting old and starting to yell at clouds LOL.

Ya. But I’m kind of relieved. Place has been pretty toxic and the content has been getting more and more lame. I’m excited to be somewhere new and start fresh. Maybe reverse some of the bad habits that are contagious with how I engage too.

A little sad, but I am not as attached to specific communities online. I’ve seen subreddits rise and fall too, so this just feels like another chance to find something new.

Yeah Reddit has a lot of really valuable communities that are not ruined imo. For some of those niche communities the other option for discourse/information is Tiktok which I don't like because the discourse is super fragmented and hard to follow.
