    never ceases to amaze me. So many people hate spez and reddit, yet they still keep using it.

      Never ceases to amaze me how people can’t seem to understand that disliking one or two aspects of something doesn’t mean hating the whole thing. You can hate the API changes and what they imply without hating the rest of the site. You can want something better for a community you’ve been a part of for, for some of them (myself included), over a decade.

      There is a point where you just have to let go… but you don’t have to do it the nanosecond you see something you dislike. If everyone did that we would all live in complete isolation from each other.

        If I let it go the second I disliked the platform I would have left in 2016. This was the culmination of years of blatant disregard for their users. It didn’t start with the protests, they were just the final straw for a lot of us.

          And it wasn’t for a lot more. Looking down at people who didn’t make the same decision you did is either childish… or misplaced anger that should be focused on the people making that platform something you no longer cared for.

      I hate some food, should I stop eating now? Pretty sure you do, too. Do you still eat? (also, I’m asian so don’t tell me you don’t hate any food or I’ll put you up to it lol)

      This is an overly simplistic take (and a blatantly reddit way of thinking - black and white, anyone?). Now I don’t use reddit anymore but went back for r/place. Why? Because I felt like spreading the word about alternatives (not just lemmy/kbin) is much better than just letting do their thing. I’ve already explained in a recent post how that won’t affect traffic much, so I won’t explain anymore. After that, I’m deleting everything again. I hate spez and what he is doing to reddit, but do I hate the small niche reddit communities I’ve made connections with over the years?

        Are you still eating food that you hate? Why would you do that, is that supposed to be something you’re proud of? Should we be in awe of you because you’re doing something that doesn’t make any sense?. I don’t get it.

          Lmao. What? Read my comment again. Slowly.

          Ok here I’ll help you out. The previous comment was complaining that people hate spez yet go back to reddit. Basically he’s saying why go to a place where there’s a person you hate, or maybe an idea you’re against.

          Now my comment in response to that is picking an individual food that a person hates (in my case is okra) to represent a single aspect I hate about reddit. Now because you hate that one single food (that one individual or concept/idea in reddit), does that mean you avoid all food (the whole of reddit)?

          No, right? That would be dumb af. So just because i hate spez’s guts doesn’t mean i hate everything about reddit. There are still communities there that aren’t on lemmy/kbin that I’m passionate about.

          Honestly, if you still don’t get it after this, i would be in awe. Lmao.

              I did sound high-strung and aggressive, didn’t I? 🤔

              Apologies. I wasn’t offended or anything. More shocked, tbh. I really should quit using social media after work. Lol

                I get like that too. Especially after work. I need to sit and unwind for like half an hour before I interact with anyone again lol.

                You’re good no worries. We’re just chatting.

              Just because you misinterpret something doesn’t mean it’s not good. Perhaps you should sit back and try and figure something out before making a snap judgment?

                Someone needs to sit back, and it’s you hombre. C.Snake and I already had our conversation and understand each other and are cool. Why are you coming in after the fact trying to speak for either of us for no reason?
