Just started using lemmy 30 minutes ago, because i realized reddit had become boring and stale since the protests, i guess they actually did do some damage.
Anyway im here to try out lemmy lets see hoq it goes
This article is b*******. Reddit didn’t win, Reddit is a scorched Earth, with most of its useful quality data stripped from it. I for one didn’t know what was going on for about a month, and was wondering why all the good posts were gone, it wasn’t until someone explained to me what Reddit was doing and how it would cause the rest of the internet to do the same that I finally understood why everyone trashed Reddit on the way out.
Yeah. I was active on reddit for over ten years but I said I’d quit when they did the API thing, so I did. Gotta stick by what you say you’ll do. I missed it at first but then I read a lot more books and was fine. Now sync lemmy has arrived and I’m gonna see how it goes here.
Shame about reddit but it’s become an example of the enshittification that seems to be the recent trend. So fuck it.
with everyone scrambling to get profitable with interest rates finally above 0 expect more desperate and dumb decisions from tech companies, to our benefit in the end
The discussions and posts on subreddits I frequented are lower quality. Seems like popular has a completely different mix compared before protests. I’ve seen similar happen elsewhere, it will be a slow slide into irrelevance unless something changes.
Depends if they’re Authoritarian or not, most lefties nowadays are unfortunately far to Authoritarian and miserable, they don’t really care about actual liberal values and instead just want censor anyone who thinks differently to them, much like extremely religious people :/
Yup. I stopped posting/commenting on reddit after third party apps were shut down, and now I’m fully on Lemmy.
Not deleting my reddit or anything yet, but reddit lost me, and I created lots of OC for that site. It’ll be interesting to see, but anecdotally reddit feels like it’s lost something since the shutdown. Maybe that’s just me tho.
Thats how a lot of people, including me, ended up here on Lemmy, so I’m still glad it happened. Here I feel like im in the early days of the internet again and its great.
