I joined Reddit mostly because of one specific game focused community.
When they went private during the protest and migrated to Lemmy, I followed suit.
While Lemmy doesn't have a lot of the functions Reddit had, I like it here more and want to stay.
After reading a bit about the protest, it resonated with me and in an attempt to support it I deleted my 7 year old account with all the content on it.
Now, I found out the said community will be opening their Subreddit again in a few days. They will keep their Lemmy instance open but I feel like the majority of people will return to Reddit because there's years of content there already while they would have to build everything from scratch here.
I respect their decision but I feel fucking betrayed and need to went. Sorry if I chose the wrong place to do so.
Update:
Not that anyone cares but it all went pretty much as I predicted.
As soon as the subreddit re-opened the Lemmy community completely died.
Even the mods don't bother posting latest patch notes.
My fave subreddit has not participated in the balackout and I hate to leave it - I've learned so much there. I'll probably set up a similar community here, but arguably there will be far less people posting & reading for the coming months, and thus: less knowledgeable responses.
But I expect the end of the month, and the accompanying ban of external apps and mod tools, to create a new influx. I'll stay in that subreddit to pijt people towards Lemmy.
