wonder if regular carpet bombing the open subs with a black "Reddit is killing third-party app (and itself)" might be effective? gives the mods an "out" because it's not against TOS - and if it were widespread enough eventually a few of them will hit front page

I've checked in on reddit a few time to see the chaos but otherwise I'm staying away, ain't giving them my traffic.

According to reddark, there were more than 7K subs closed this morning, right now there's a bit above 6300, with many opening as we speak. We'll see.

The sun rises, then sets.

Reddit's sunset appears nigh.

Thanks for the laughs.

Reddit refugee here, anime/manga nerd and mainly shitposting but I also like to engage in Machine Learning and C++/Python discussions.

Before the subreddits went dark, I used a tool to see which subreddits I've posted to and commented on the most. Then, I added in a few subreddits that I had newly joined and so weren't represented in the data.

I had a list of 17 subreddits. I actually subscribe to over 30, but clearly the others weren't that important to me. I've replaced at least 7 of those (including the top 2) with Lemmy. Most of the others really need no replacement as they were just time killers.

About the only subreddit that I really care about that I haven't found a good Lemmy replacement for is r/LEGO. Yes, there's a Lemmy alternative and I've subscribed to it, but there are few people there.

So if I do return to Reddit, it will likely be for 1 subreddit only. I'll unsubscribe to everything else and deal with Reddit trying to push me into other discussions while I help the Lemmy LEGO community grow.

I went ahead and posted a goodbye message on my Reddit profile, linking to my Lemmy and Mastodon profiles.

Now we'll see if the Reddit admins have the audacity to ban me for “spam” over a single post on my own profile.

Today I did it, I deleted my apps. No reflexive opening of reddit

Is the community really big enough to necessitate a mega thread?
