Fediverse

I didn't do it till last minute cause I'm lazy and hate creating accounts for every little thing these days (though I definitely prefer a new account than login with Google or whatnot). However I loved Reddit is Fun and the CEO has made some less than satisfactory decisions so it was time to pull up stakes and move on, again, though 15 years since the Digg move it had it's time, now for something else. I thought it was amusing I didn't even realize spez was the CEO till this recent but, I just always saw him posting but never commenting so I ignored him years ago. Figure you should do more than spam links on these sites.

I fully converted yesterday because I was holding out hope that reddit would do the right thing.

We vote with our dollars and our actions. Consider this a vote for freedom.

I made a Lemmy account a couple weeks ago and started getting familiar with the fediverse. Then I decided to create a different user on Lemmy.world so I think I registered this one yesterday.

For the last 30 days I’ve still used Reddit because it has the most activity and it’s been like “this is the last time!!” kinda feels. But now I’ve discovered wefwef, and I’m not going to be using Reddit anymore so here I am.

I think a lot of people are similar…nostalgia and ease of use kept everyone mostly using Reddit and now the people who care about the whole issue will start contributing here.

I accessed reddit through the Sync app and actually didn't realise it was just going to stop working. I'm still not really sure what's going on here, this is my first experience of the fediverse. I like learning new things.

The sooner we realize corporate control of social media was a massive mistake, the better the world will be. Imagine if corporate social media algos that drive engagement through ragebaiting hadn't existed for the last 10 years...

What a great perspective -- let the good times roll!

Hell yeah
