I'm ready to step away from Reddit. I know you can encounter toxic behavior on other platforms too, but I'm just exhausted by the level of negativity there. So, I have two questions for those who have fully transitioned — What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

My reasons were as you said, toxicity and Reddit’s decision to screw over developers and its users. Never tried to bring someone over. The user base is smaller but it’s almost like going from a loud room of shouting assholes to a small gathering of people that tire of the noise. Haven’t looked back once.
