I know will not be seen by many, but if someone wonders why my profile is dead, they know why. Link sends to join-lemmy.org, if I get banned, oh well…
I still haven’t touched Reddit since Apollo shut down. Feels good to stand up for what you believe in
I haven’t logged in since BaconReader shut down. I’ve gone over to lurk a little, but each time I do and drop into the comments, I last maybe 5 minutes and close it.
That said, the holier-than-thou crowd is becoming more vocal here, and it’s a bummer.
The commies with no sense of the historical irony of said label were here before I arrived. I’d say they were teenagers afflicted with black and white thinking but maybe that is not the case.
Eh not even that, it’s more of the “my thinking is right and if you disagree with any element of my ideology, you’re a bigot/fascist/etc”. When I first got here, conversations were pretty pleasant and opposing ideological conversations were welcome, but it’s shifted pretty quickly into hivemind/groupthink.
No you’re pretty spot-on. I would also lump in troll propagandist to the mix. There are quite a lot of communist on Lemmy who are a little more sophisticated than a teenager.
RIF was working for about a month after the shut down (shit down?) but I was logged out and strictly lurking.
Lemmy has been way more stable for me in the past 2 weeks as well.
I’ll use my browser to look at reddit without being logged in every now and then, but honestly 90% of the major news is on Lemmy anyhow and the memes and community are 10x better than anything on Reddit since about a decade.
Only thing left for Lemmy is more local/provincial communities gaining traction on Lemmy, but I’m in no rush at all. I’d rather have a limited user base with genuine interaction than the shit slide botfest reddit feels like now
You still can use it if you spoof the api key with revanced.
I keep using RiF to check r/ModCoord from time to time and see the death of the platform.
My friend said that too, saying they’d never use the official app. Then they posted a link today that I couldn’t open without the official app 🤦♂️
Agreed. I know that my leaving isn’t going to change the platform, get Spez fired, or have any substantial effect. But the key thing is I know that I’m not supporting it.

OP is BASED as fuck, I went to go check out my Reddit account since I haven’t used it since lemy and Reddit just felt so clunky and bloated in comparison
I was researching something and there was a Reddit post that could have had the answer. I clicked it, it didn’t load. I left.
What do you mix?
my original account got shadow-banned, so i created i_mix_stuff at a time i was active on r/photoshopbattles, where i would “mix” 2-3 submittons from r/new in a single picture and crosspost it. my original username was same i am using now on lemmy
I did the same too yesterday, felt good to properly let it go.
I did the same–with links to Reddit alternatives–back in early July when it became clear Reddit admin was going full autocratic on the situation. I didn’t delete my content and I still don’t plan to, as the discussions (and especially the Q&A) on Reddit are a public good that is a net positive for the Internet, and even the ugly acts of site leadership don’t change that. I encourage anyone that still has a Reddit account to pin a similar message.
This post also reminded me that I’d recommended Squabbles when I first made the post, so I had to run over there and edit that out. Oof. 😬
Maybe the detachment the negative posters feel in this thread is part of Reddit being a toxic place. Just a theory.
Bro they are fake points, you’ll survive
I think you missed the point.
You guys are way too attached to Reddit.
sir, this is c/reddit
I know. That doesn’t change anything I said.
if the topic is contained, it is easy for you to ban so your eyes don’t burn
What are you talking about? Why would I ban it? Eyes burning? Wat
