due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

I've yet to find a good alternative to /r/Games, though their official Discord is pretty good.

Most of the gaming communities I've seen on Kbin/Lemmy are either a lot more specialized, or are overrun with non-news and discussion topics like memes, resulting in spaces more akin to /r/gaming

I don't have a problem with memes, but /r/Games was created specifically because spaces that allow lower effort content and a huge userbase tend to be flooded with it.

So you want a game news community?
