no I fucking hate Reddit

Not at all. Probably because I was not a mod of any subreddit. I've commented every now and then, but that bit is the same here.

No; good riddance.

Yeah, it's a lot of value destroyed and many communities and individuals will never make the switch. It's a sad thing, even if there is new opportunity as we see with Lemmy.

I do feel some kind of sadness, but I feel... free. Reddit started becoming addictive to me some time ago and I have noticed that Lemmy seems to have less trolls, perverts, power tripping mods and just simply batshit crazy people. I do feel an urge to check out how Reddit is doing, but I'll soon go to a place without a proper internet connection so I think I'll finally be able to cure my Reddit addiction. My experience with Lemmy has been very positive so far.

Not really, I just miss some of the subs that I used to frequent. Most of them already exist somewhere in the Fediverse and just need to gain some traction. The other thing I miss is my app, RedReader, but the author has plans to extend it to support Lemmy or similar in the future so I'm good.

I did at first, but the more acclimated I get to Lemmy/Fediverse that feeling has mostly gone away. I'm mostly going to miss the Apollo app, because it was just that good and is where I spent the most time browsing Reddit. I sincerely hope Christian Selig makes a Lemmy app and I will gladly pay for it if he does, but I understand if he wants a break or wants to focus on other projects.

The sad part is potentially losing all the information, communities, etc. You can pretty much expect any company to go bad, so it makes no sense to get attached to a company.

I'm sad, as my account is many years old since digg days. But I hardly comment or post, and dgaf about karma, so I am considering deleting in total rather than just stop using. At the same time, I'm interested to know how it'll play out.

Like Netflix, despite the public outcry, we may well see that reddit is still alive and well after this. /shrug.

Yeah I’m honestly sad, but more sad about Apollo than Reddit. Seeing the big subs join the protest and seeing the activity here has been a nice silver lining though. I just don’t want to see the really specific/niche groups on Reddit die. So I hope they come here 🥺

Not going to lie. This all feels like Google+ to me. The communities and networks are all over the place

I'm going to miss reddit but I'm also excited because I really like the idea of the fediverse and I'm hoping this makes it take off even more. People need to start moving away from centralized social media IMHO, how many times do platforms need to get ruined before people realize centralized platforms run by megacorps always end the same?

i'm sad that reddit is dogshit, but excited to watch lemmy grow and to have the opportunity to be a part of its growth

Honestly it feels refreshing

Kind of - I'd just hung around because they hadn't given me a single, strong reason to leave. 3rd party apps getting crushed was the kick up the ass I needed

A little sad, but I am not as attached to specific communities online. I’ve seen subreddits rise and fall too, so this just feels like another chance to find something new.

On one side yes, on the other side I see it as an opportunity to spend more time being active and or outside doing things that are truly good for myself.
