I am a reddit user from the Great Digg Exodus of 2008. Fifteen years of content and over a million karma that I'm going to overwrite at the end of the month. I'm going to bring as many people with me as I can before I go. I hope all three of them enjoy lemmy.
Yeah, this feels a lot like a bad breakup. I've explored reddit alternatives before, but this time it's for good.
I'm also a Digg Exodus user that came to Reditt in 2008. I have very few posts and little karma as it was more of an aggregator of content for me and less about the interaction. And at the same time reading the comments was some of the best part of the experience.
The move from Digg to Reddit took a bit but who remembers Digg now? And Digg crumbled for the same reasons, management not listening to the users. This sucks but it too will pass.
