I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
Killed all four of my accounts (cleaned all posts first) when they doubled down and it became apparent they were not going to budge no matter what, and insulted both mods and the community too.
Even if they do relinquish now, I’m sticking with Lemmy; if Reddit owners can treat us this badly now, what’s to prevent it from happening again in the future, whether it’s by the ham-fisted machinations of the past week, or by a “secret incremental changes we hope you won’t notice” plan.
