For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I do. Started using reddit in 8th grade and now I'm finishing my masters. So it's been a while. Over the years, it has changed a lot and I've been pretty dissatisfied, to say the least. It used to be a great place for insightful and more-or-less friendly conservation, there was a sense of community. It hasn't been that way in a long time, so I'm ready to move on. Still sad but it's for the best.

I'm hoping Lemmy will have the same spirit as reddit had when I created an account all those years ago. I'm staying optimistic.
