for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

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 wouldn't really consider myself a "refugee".

I've been feeling like the internet has been become a more isolating and nonconstructive place for a long time, and I have been following the fedverise & other projects for a while, hoping that we might be able to build something better.

I am interested to see where things go.

I read the join lemmy and instantly like this way better. The old days of bluesnews and slashdot finding stuff or instance to read, better and improved UI, but avoid of a centralized data centre that just want to gather/sell your data. How refreshing to not even require an email to register?
