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.
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.
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 🤦♂️
