Asklemmy

I prefer encouraging small communities grow to become as successful as corpo giants. It's not only about Reddit, it's about avoiding single points of failure.

I don't think I'll go back except for niche content/communities I don't expect to see here for a while.

I’ve been looking for an alternative for a while now, and am quite sure I’ve found it.

I've fully committed to replacing reddit in my life, I'm trying to be active here and pointing people to Lemmy when I can. Reddit has made it clear they dont care about users. they get content for free, moderation for free, etc. They pissed on their base and deserve a mass exodus. I just hope people follow through.

Stay! And participate less in their site, so they note the change.

Nothing could convince me to go back, we need decentralization.

I'm seeing how things play out.

I certainly like Lemmy and I could very well use both for a while. I'm mostly worried my favorite subs (especially my local City sub) won't migrate or be an active enough group here. Time will tell. I want to follow the community, not the platform.

I prefer the smaller crowd here. Reddit just feels like a mall these days. Between all the bullshit, tencent, ads and assholes, I’m not looking back.

They have already tipped their hand and shown that money is what they are actively after. My trust is gone. If they were to revert changes at this point, I would simply read that as "We have delayed our plan until we come up with something else."

What if your SO stops beating you?

I've wanted to leave since the old shitredditsays days, but back then there weren't any good alternatives (especially after Tumblr was acquired by Yahoo) so I stayed out of a lack of alternatives.

The blackout is just the brd finally coming to free us from the hellsite. I will never return.

I think I'm on Lemmy for the long haul - I like the fediverse decentralisation. The hardest part of Reddit to abandon will be the search results on Google, but perhaps we'll see something similar with Lemmy in a few years if it picks up steam.

No. I'm done. The admins had their chance to address the developers and community concerns respectfully. They instead chose to insult people, make false accusations and demonstrated a complete lack of humility and respect for the community that made their website have any value at all.

Not that I expect them to reverse course on anything, but I won't be coming back under any circumstances.

Lemmy is too good to leave. I don't think I'm alone either. I was wanting an alternative for a while.

Personally I doubt I'll delete my account on Reddit. But as someone who will cling to old.reddit.com and adguard to the bitter end, I'll happily let my account gather dust unless there's a support question or something for a community that hasn't taken off here.

Keeping Reddit as a backup will at least being me some productivity back. I'm supposed to be a writer, I would probably get more actual writing done.

I would probably stay here. I do like exploring new things and the fact that it is smaller would likely make me lurk less.

Lemmy. I actually kinda prefer this to reddit, content feels much more "local" and since I can't spend hours scrolling through it, it doesn't make me a mindless soul just being fed infornation. Also I already deleted my reddit account lol.

And then what? They'll magically stop having to make money for their investors?

Reddit isn't getting enshittified for shits and giggles. They're being forced to make money. That requires enshittification.

Yeah, I'd go back. I notice the bot content has gotten bad on Reddit, but the communities I follow are still okay.

Reddit is doing a tumblr so I don't think is gonna recover that easy. Reddit is not gonna allow NSFW subs to be seen outside of the official app, who the hell watches porn from the official app? So many people is gonna drop it.

I think is still gonna survive IF subs like askreddit, amitheasshole or entitledparents are still up and have a lot of people posting, because they so many YT channels read from those (and I hear them daily as podcasts) but if the mayor subs go dark or shutdown is not gonna affect reddit only, but also so many people who works reading those.

I've overwritten and deleted all my comments and posts and nuked my account. This is my new home.

I would half move back. There are a lot of niche subs that I can't find here, like r/NonCredibleDiplomacy. But I would still use Lemmy, it is more homey.
