for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

It's complicated. joined in 2018 right before they introduced new reddit and even back then there was a stigma reddit was "getting bad". However, reddit has been the best place for me to discover new things and the niche communities and interests were really great. I use an extension (that will surely die alongside the 3rd party apps) to find reddit comments associated with any youtube video that made my browsing really great.

The thing that makes me most upset is how they pulled out the rug from so many people and then acted like it was the people on top of the rug's fault it was pulled.
