Lemmy is my new home now and it'll stay that way.
I'm not going to be drastic on reddit yet, I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data, but I''ll immediately unsub from all the subs I'm currently in save for a few very niche that are hard to replace (for now).
I'll probably check in every now and then those niche but I'll definitely stop posting.

I did this last week using their official portal and they haven't gotten back to me yet... I wonder how many others have done the same lol
Edit: fix formatting
Nah reddit can fuck itself. I don't want to support them.
I went there for a moment to check if any of my subreddits were making polls and the amount of redditors against this strike was depressing. I'm happy that I left this shithole and those braindead people behind.
Gonna stick with Lemmy, but monitor Reddit's activity.
I expect a lot of subreddits will be left indefinitely closed as well, which the admins are probably going to take over forcefully.
Lemmy is pretty nice to use so far.
I'm gonna go back to reddit long enough to get the rules for important support groups I'm in to make them here on Lemmy. I'll then post about it in the support groups before leaving Reddit.
I'm staying here on lemmy. I was sensing the quality decline for years and was looking for something else before the recent drama anyway.
Lemmy is the first time I've been excited about the internet in a while and most things people complain about here are non issues to me.
Federation and some fracturing? It's a fail safe feature not a bug. And things will slowly become more centralized over time.
Difficult to grasp conceptually and on board? It's creating a positive barrier to entry keeping smart and persistent people as the ones entering in.
UI and UX issues? The second biggest instance rn lemmy.world was created only 10 days ago! Chill out and be patient! As the community grows in confident we will get all the QoL features we want.
Small community? It's growing so rapidly we're having outages and crashes, people are coming in faster than ever. And your posts will actually be seen and can create real connections with people.
It's an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help determine what this place will be!
People are looking at it wrong who are complaining imo and if not then they're simply not the people I want to interact with anyway. They can go back to corporate ass ad ridden sites like reddit and continue their mindless scrolling there. I'll be staying here
+1, lemmy/kbin/mastodon are communities users can shape and contribute to (literally to the code as well) far more than reddit. That alone with along with the recent influx of users, makes it a far more interesting place than reddit.
Deleted my reddit today. Staying here cause
I've completely replaced my Reddit addiction with a Lemmy addiction. Don't feel any pull to go back tbh.
I'm surprised how easy that was for me
Same.. but then again I thought I could go the entire 48 hours Reddit free.
First 80 minutes and I was already looking up Lemmy and how to join.
16 year reddit veteran here. I'm gonna stay here, create communities, and submit content in the hopes that others do the same. Honestly, we don't need even .1% of the users to make a great community, we just need the users we have to be active.
Iβm all-in on Lemmy and hope you all will stick around too. I blew away my Reddit account and all my post history today.
Did they reverse the API charges. No. Then they can fuck off. If yes, then they can fuck off. Reddit has made it quiet clear were their priorities are at. And it ain't the community
Iβll probably use both until Apollo gets shut off for good. I hope by then Mlem gets better and Iβll definitely switch to Lemmy/Kbin. Iβll still reference Reddit because letβs be real, many questions and answers are on Reddit
rif basically was reddit to me. If that app goes I won't use it on my phone anymore. I think I'll still use old.reddit.com, but if that goes I'll never use it again.
I'm sticking to lemmy at this point because of the principal.
I may only be one person out of millions, but I'm not giving reddit a lick of traffic unless Spez publicly acknowledges and apologizes to the dev for the false accusations, and to it's communities.
I figure, if my time on reddit is a just drop in the bucket, people should have no room to be angry with me if I leave reddit permanently. If the user base is so unimportant, reddit shouldn't miss us when we go. If the CEO is going to imply that people will get attacked by us for wearing reddit merch, then I want NOTHING to do with that platform.
People are hilarious if they think that reddit will suddenly stop it's shenanigans at removing 3rd party apps. When they go public, you can probably kiss most of your favourite content goodbye.
It's ironic too, because certain specific communities who are angry at the blackout will probably truly lose free speech when reddit goes public. Everything will likely have to be very suitable to advertisers and whoever has a stake in ownership.
Going to stay with Lemmy for now. I had already been looking for an alternative to reddit even before this whole fiasco and Lemmy has what I'm looking for so far.
I'm going to stay. Whether it's Lemmy or something else, the fediverse is how I want to engage with the internet.
Stay on Lemmy. Obviosuly there's probably going to be some reasons to go back to reddit every once in a while but i think that will be less and less overtime. fuck reddit.
I'll be using both but I hope the strike goes on longer. Reddit mods have no idea how to strike or what a strike entails. Imagine if ghandi broke his hunger strike because he got hungry.
Will remain here, CEO has shown how much of a scum he is.
I will make lemmy my new home. Will uninstall reddit as I did with twitter.
Switch back to what? I nuked my account's posts and comments, then deactivated it, and I'm here.
So yeah, I'm here to stay, like it so far. I'm just hoping the enthusiasm I feel, and see with the others, won't die out in a few days/weeks.
Im staying here
I'm a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We've been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I'm probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.
I'm having the opposite feeling. I also mod a sub of that size. The thought has crossed my mind to make that community here, sticky a thread in the sub, turn off automod, sign out, and let nature do the rest.
Edit: community made. Any users from, living in, or in some way attached to Alabama, feel free to find Sweet Home Alabama !alabama
I'm here and I don't have plans to go back to reddit. Regardless of what happens, spez showed his hand, and I don't want to support that kind of bullshit.
Also: FOSS is awesome, and that's another reason in my view to stick to Lemmy.
I deleted over 2000 comments, 300 posts, and 9 years of my Reddit data. Deleted my account afterwards, and there's no looking back. Lemmy is my new social media app.
I am really enjoying the concept of Lemmy but am still learning about it. I'll probably stick around to see how it grows and evolves. I kind of like not being on Reddit.
I want to stay on Lemmy because it's small, cool, and new. Reddit has shown zero repentance for their mistreatment of the community, and the rampant defeatism and pessimism of its users in response to the blackout is nauseating. People who are angry at having their routine distractions disrupted, and are entirely apathetic to things. Not me. I'll take the extra jump even though it's hard. I'm tired of tech companies doing whatever they want with impunity because they have a monopoly on their corner of social media.
I'll pop in occasionally on reddit, with adblock and without interacting with things just to see if there's any changes. But when it comes to engaging with content, I'll bring my attention elsewhere, Lemmy for the time being.
Honestly even if Reddit reverses the API changes I'm still making Lemmy my new home. I'll still use Reddit from time to time, but I won't be posting any content there. Looking forward to becoming a Lemon! π
Staying away from Reddit for sure. The people make Reddit, not the corporation. I go where my people are.
I'll be using both, taking content from reddit and posting it here would help lemmy grow
I'll return to reddit for as long as my rif app works, and spend that time proselytizing for lemmy
I'm staying; I may go and check in on my old subreddits periodically, but my new home is here.
I'm no longer going to provide my services as a mod to reddit for free, though I may read some of my favorite subs again. I won't be spending hours each week there, like I previously did. Fuck spez for what he did to Apollo (and other third-party apps).
My account on Reddit is almost 12 years old now, and I've been ready for a change, so while I'm not going to delete my reddit account, I'll certainly not be browsing it over the fediverse.
I am staying, never to return to reddit.
Iβm staying here. I canβt use a site that treats its community like that
