Yeah, I think that loosing access to great communities like OSR, Boardgames, RPG, Horror and horrorlit will hurt, but I'm hoping to find new ones too, with fresh new people and new ideas.

It does suck a little, but I will say that once I had my main account on reddit banned, it felt like I realized I spent so much dumb effort trying to up my karma, that I took a step back and thought, wow I'm addicted to this and it's ultimately meaningless. I still post on reddit, but definitely more constructive, and the Fedeverse is much better since it's decentralized, and there's no central karma aggregate if that makes more sense.

Had an account for 11 years but lurked for a few before. Yes. I been expecting it for years since its been declining but still going to miss it.

Annoyed, really. I'm reminded of how Usenet went to shit in the early 2000s due to major servers utterly failing at spam mitigation.

As they say, "this is why we can't have nice things."

I have used Deddit on and off for years now and whilst I miss the communities and the sheer mass of useful/amusing information, I am happy we can start a new on something like this.

Yeah. Here’s hoping this is just the beginning of something better

Yeah a little bit

Reddit has made me discover many things in 5 years of using it, and I would have never become a Linux user without it. Nevertheless, platform come and go, and it's time to move, as usually happens once in a while. It's not wise to get affectionate to websites

Not sad, just disappointed. They could have the perfect app and they ruined it, all just for more money.

Oh yeah, I mean I find my self wanting to check it right now even, not checking reddit is giving me a huge sense of FOMO but that is reason enough alone to make me want to leave it lmao

Yes I am a little sad. I just deleted my account(s) this morning. 7 years on Reddit, and it was my go-to platform. But it is clear that Reddit does not care about its users, so I won't be using Reddit anymore

For me it's like moving to a small town. Instead of a whole scene into each if my weird interests it's just a few cool people. But thats just a function of population.

Reddit peaked like eight or ten years ago. I am so ready for this. I have been doing everything in my power (completely ineffectively) to get the people and communities I care about to bridge to a libre network.

It turns into relief meanwhile. Actually, I want Reddit to die as fast as possible.

I deleted my Facebook-account a couple of years ago. At the beginning it felt a bit weird. But in hindsight it was one of the best decisions. My Twitter-Account got deleted in fall last year. And again: It was a good decision. I expect the decision to delete my Reddit-Account to be equally liberating.

8 years of LTL on old reddit+RES on desktop and RiF on mobile, and it's a weird mixture of grief and freedom at the same time.

It’s a little sad. I got really into reddit because of my gf. At the same time this is kinda exciting. Lemmy feel like early days of the internet. There is no ads, no algorithm trying to guess what I like, and I need to make the effort to find something I like

I've been on giant, corporate owned services for so long, I kinda forgot what it's like to be out in the cottage industry of small websites.

Not at all. Probably because I was not a mod of any subreddit. I've commented every now and then, but that bit is the same here.
