This seems like a good place so far tbh

    It’s not really as simple as leaving reddit. I have deleted my reddit info, but haven’t deleted my account. I still post on reddit sometimes, because posting a question on lemmy gets almost no responses. I use one of the Redlib hosters when just viewing reddit (eg if I click on a link.) A slow transition, I hope Lemmy gets more popular.

    I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.

      Same, but after RiF. Reddit became a posterchild for the corporate greed so fuck them.

        I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.

        On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.

    I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.

    As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago

    Already did. Purged all my Reddit bookmarks and account.

    Generally: You have to be the change you want to see in the world. If you want to change others, change yourself first. I don’t think the mindset “I need to reach that big number of people over there so I’ll just be over there as well to teach them” works, or leads to the goal you want. Even though it seems reasonable at first glance. This mindset just leads to you giving the other people AND yourself more reason to never leave from there. Which is contrary to what you want. If you want others to switch to better alternatives, move yourself first, help grow the alternatives, and they will sooner or later also become interested in joining. Things like the latest Reddit and Twitter fiascos also show that no huge proprietary social media platform rules forever. The time to change to better alternatives has never been better than now.

    Some moderator permabanned me over my simming screenshots, saying i broke reddit content rules. This PARTICULAR moderator has banned me from reddit multiple times. Today’s was the last straw. Reddit deserves a fiery death. So, Lemmy is the closest thing. I welcome the replacement.

    Already did. Now I only visit Reddit to check out some niche communities that are not on Lemmy yet.

      Yeah, I’ll probably still check Reddit when it’s in Google search results, too, but I’m no longer visiting regularly and I hope that someday I’ll be able to replace it for the niche cases, too.
