I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

We need to make fetch happen!

[โ€“] Art3sian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Agreed! If ever there were a time for fetch to happen, it feels like now would be a good choice!

Fuck u/spez

Yeah, to be honest, I used the reddit mobile app and I loved reddit and I'm also sad to see it go. However, nothing lasts forever.

I'm sad to see what's happening to reddit but excited about Lemmy

[โ€“] ElectricCattleman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It IS exciting. I really like what I see so far on Lemmy. There aren't 10,000 comments on every thread. I think it will be easier to gave real engagement with people.

For sure, but what makes Reddit special are the users, the content, and the discussions. The admins add no value.

We can recreate the communities in a distributed and federated way so that we never find ourselves in the same situation again.

[โ€“] varadin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This. One thousand percent - this.

We are ground floor. Be active! Make this the community you want it to be!

Yeah, it's a bummer Reddit went the way it did. But here we are. I'll miss it to a point. Still figuring out Lemmy, we'll see how it goes. I've tried Mastodon a bit as well but it feels more like Twitter to me, which I used for maybe a week years ago. No thanks.

[โ€“] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I never got into Twitter and was freaked out by the content on Mastodon. I just want a nice chill community that shares interesting information/news/facts/pics.

I left reddit bc the very users that came to reddit pushed all the stuff that made it cool out. Conspiracy was big stuff when I used to go, but the userbase started to defend the corperations and mock conspiracies as if they where fake. Also all the real users got banned for daring to say anything against the norm.

[โ€“] Bretzel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

OP didn't realized he was using an alternative. Bye Reddit

[โ€“] Rentlar@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Weeeeeeellllllll, there are a lot of former Reddit users here so you won't miss too much, I think!

Reddit's not what it once was, and won't be ever again if they continue towards IPO even if they walk back some or all of the proposed changes. I might visit occasionally to check up on things, but by-and-large I'm done with it.

It's how the old saying goes: out with the old in with the new!

But what is the new saying?

[โ€“] SameUser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, I've left other sites. Reddit has been going downhill for years.
