I’ve never seen a company burn so much goodwill so fast and so unnecessarily.

    Me too. Even though I would make new accounts regularly on Reddit, this feels different. A true tabula rasa moment. We will write the future!

    And apparently that future starts with the word “Beans”.

    Welcome!

    I did delete my main account and have been mainlining lemmy for my enjoyment, it’s great here and the upvotes and comments are really kicking off now.

    I remade a Reddit account to only use for my googles for things (path of exile help atm)

    If I do find myself replying, I’ll be using chatgpt to write the most nothing shit. I literally can’t use Reddit on my phone thanks to that awful official app.

    Thank fuck for Memmy!

        On IOS, download TestFlight first and then google the Memmy GitHub link, the app hasn’t been released on the App Store yet but it’s finalizing approvals with apple

    Reddit doesn’t make anything, the users make the content.

    It’s both hilarious and sad that Huffman would choose to alienate users. Seriously biting the hand that feeds.

      It has been much more of a slow burn on Twitter. Plus, more people used Twitter for real time news, which is a more difficult thing to replace than the shitposting and discussion that Reddit was used for more.

    I haven’t, because boost somehow still works on it, but after finding the Jerboa app that feels so much like boost, understanding a little more about the instances and all, picking one that i liked, and seeing that the lemmy community is much more interesting. I am just scrolling here now.

    I deleted seven years of account history last night and it felt good. I still have gold to give away before I delete the account.

    I am just irritated that Reddit decides to commit sudoku right after I hit 100k comment karma.
