please repost this to reddit!
I want to believe it’s true, for moral reasons, but based on the stats I’ve seen it seems like we’re a minority.
That TechCrunch article previously posted basically said traffic and usage took an early hit but pretty much rebounded.
Either way, I don’t plan to go back. I like you Lemmites.
I’d been looking for a new Reddit even before this fiasco, im glad there’s something fresh
To be fair rumors have been spreading for years that reddit was going to IPO and pretty much gut the site. I remember comments from probably 5 years ago where people called out that eventually they would probably shut off access to third party apps. Reddit is over being reddit.
I am fine with majority will stay there. They can keep the trolls, bots, and bad actors with them.
Yeah, we won’t be able to match their quantity anytime soon, but I hope there will be a noticeable difference in quality.
The amount of karma farming repost and comment repost bots on reddit now is crazy. Over half my feed was posts by bots or accounts under a year old.
Yeah, people like the convenience of their accounts they’ve already set up and subs they already follow, they’re attached to their profiles.
I won’t be back on Reddit either, but stubborn assholes like us lemmy boners are few and far between mate.
On these fresh new pastures we shall rebuild. Once the shadows have claimed all, we shall be a beacon for those who want to be saved.
And God blessed the Lemmites and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Internet
A-lem.
I’ve been on Reddit a bit still, but when baconreader stops I’ll be fully gone
Atta boy. Pledge allegiance to the flag of lemmy.
I am honored.
It will be like the floodgates open.
It’s what Jesus™ would want, probably
