I am not leaving unlesa somehow reddit pays me to go back to it. I am a man of conviction. I went back just because i got a notification of someone replying. Other than that, that's it. I am staying here whether this takes off or not
I believe a lot of the new users' influx was knee-jerk reaction towards it. Then people calmed down and went back to their old habits, leaving the fediverse with millions of dead accounts.
I enjoyed being a mod to a helpful community tho - but no, I'm no longer working for free so that spez can shine in the stock market: that's exactly who I'm not, exactly against all my values.
The internet has changed so much.
Instance checks out :p
I've never had any downtime on my instance. Lemmy.world is under a lot of strain because it's the largest, Sync has decided sign-ups should go there by default, and it gets the occasional DDoS attack.
