We're counting today as the first day?
*Happy Canada Day.
The first day post reddit API death, which was what the whole migration was about, so yes, in a fashion.
Yeah, I don't think we can say there is a first day. More like there are waves. We could tentatively say the first one was around the black out. Although, there may have been some smaller waves before that. The next big one is the API-ocalypse. The next big one after that will be when the reddit executives fire their foot shotgun again.
I think there is some merit to saying that a lot of people are stubborn and won't move unless forced. The apps going down today prompted a big wave that's for sure
Maybe yes. Personally it’s not even necessarily about ads for me, it’s the character of the ownership of the platform.
Spez is going the way of Musk and Zuckerbot. It was time to bite the bullet and try something entirely different.
I haven’t quite got the hang of this or Mastodon yet, and it’ll probably take a lot of time, but it’s ticking a whole lot of boxes so far.
Also oddly, you’re even being welcoming. Even the fellow ex redditors. Perhaps it’s refugee mentality. :)
I wanted there to be one big spike when they turned it off. Had my account here ready to go and used sync until it stopped working.
