I’m not married to Lemmy just yet, but I really can’t see myself going back to Reddit. I think the only actual utility I get out of Reddit these days is keeping up on Gaming news - I used to get a ton of value out of a subreddit for my profession, but the head admin there seems to be a bit of a heel & most of the quality contributors already moved elsewhere before the blackout.

I think its been easy to ignore the fact that Reddit is just like every other silicon valley social media company. Enshittification was always on the roadmap - I just had hoped that Reddit would’ve been a bit more graceful about it. In retrospect, it’s terrifying that we have this much human knowledge & history tied to one platform.
