Boost for Reddit is finally down. Can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy to launch. So far I’ve enjoyed my time here. Thanks for keeping it going everyone.

It was easier for me to leave once I said fuck it and just deleted my account.
It’s also easier accepting that Reddit just won’t be the same ever again no matter what. Shit is changing. It had already been slowly changing over the years as it became more popular. Quality of content has been declining for a while.
It used to just get a little shitty in the summer when kids were on summer break, but as it became more popular the seasonal change became less noticeable.
Now every thread on Reddit always has some dork talking about how “wE aRe NOw in thE FinD ouT pHasE” (or some variation of “fuck around, find out) like they are saying something original or clever.

Agreed. It’s sad to lose the Elite dangerous community for me, but other than that, lemmy is a straight up upgrade. Almost no idiots whatsoever.

We can make new Elite Dangerous community here. I’m up for that.
There’s [email protected] but I’m not sure whether or not the .ml TLD thing is going to affect that instance further.
I always loved the game, but need to get back into it. Probably in next life.
I have the constant fear that much of the reddit userbase even the bad ones will migrate here and we will have another Eternal September.
There’s a slight barrier to entry here that makes it not as accessible for a certain crowd. That may change over time, especially with Threads introducing them to the fediverse. I suppose we’ll see.
I really hate metaverse gahdamnit.
Anyone with a ten year or older account has seen the decline of Reddit and hopefully has moved on now. My account was 12 years old, I deleted my content and was still lurking on boost until it stopped working now. When I get time and the motivation I will logon and delete my account. It is refreshing to try something new and I am enjoying Lemmy world a lot so far. With boost for Lemmy coming the future looks good.
I have an 17+ year old Reddit account that I started just a few months after reddit offered accounts. I’ve seen it grow, seen things turn sideways in many ways. But, things come and go, and perhaps it’s Reddits time to wither and die.
I came to Reddit after Digg turned in a clusterfark , so I am glad there is a new site that seems to be more in touch with what users want. I just hope it can be maintained and made profitable for those who devote the effort on it.
