I am too. I really hope they at least make a compromise to allow third-party apps to function. I have spent years on Reddit, and I find it enjoyable for the most part. The amount of information on that site is incredible too. If it continues down the Twitter road it will be sorely missed.

This is just the evolution of forums, ngl. We've moved from dislocated hobby groups to a consolidated place where anyone can find the forum they need, to realising the problem with pure consolidation.

I remember Digg before Reddit.

Let’s just hope the blackout works, spez sucks

my life would be substantially better if i never joined reddit in the first place

Honestly better this way, the fediverse is much more resilient and future-proof than a site maintained by a group of people with the aim of making money and deciding the fate of their service, and I doubt that reddit becomes opensource and implements activityPub soon.

It seems to be working for me. Fediverse apps don't need to nessesarily be popular with the general public in order to be useful to us in nichie communities.

I for one am glad to be here to make something new. Enjoy the ride!

I feel the same way. I love how reddit had very active communities for pretty much all my interests. Lemmy is not bad but you have to make it happen and who knows if it will happen..
