I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

All of the subreddits I frequent all stated they're closing the subreddits down and deleting their accounts so there's no reason for me to be on Reddit anymore and I can't justify staying on the platform when Reddit is acting the way it is.

It's sad still, but now I'm trying to learn about fediverse and try new things.

Same for me. If they follow through shutting down, I'll have one whole sub left out of dozens I've found over the years. And while it's nice, it's nothing I won't be able to find here. Feels super weird to have no reason to use Reddit anymore, but the end of an era always feels weird.

Worst part is all the subs I really liked but didn't participate in myself, so I'm stuck waiting for someone else to start them up because I have no content of my own.

I left reddit bc the very users that came to reddit pushed all the stuff that made it cool out. Conspiracy was big stuff when I used to go, but the userbase started to defend the corperations and mock conspiracies as if they where fake. Also all the real users got banned for daring to say anything against the norm.

I am too. I really hope they at least make a compromise to allow third-party apps to function. I have spent years on Reddit, and I find it enjoyable for the most part. The amount of information on that site is incredible too. If it continues down the Twitter road it will be sorely missed.

All great things must come to an end, and reddit is no exception
