I joined Reddit mostly because of one specific game focused community. When they went private during the protest and migrated to Lemmy, I followed suit. While Lemmy doesn’t have a lot of the functions Reddit had, I like it here more and want to stay.
After reading a bit about the protest, it resonated with me and in an attempt to support it I deleted my 7 year old account with all the content on it.
Now, I found out the said community will be opening their Subreddit again in a few days. They will keep their Lemmy instance open but I feel like the majority of people will return to Reddit because there’s years of content there already while they would have to build everything from scratch here.
I respect their decision but I feel fucking betrayed and need to went. Sorry if I chose the wrong place to do so.
So far it seems as normal re-opening. There’s a still a few days to go so maybe they’ll change their minds and at least go into a read only mode, if that’s possible.
