I know this is really anecdotal, but it does feel a little different over there now, and not for the better. I can't really put my finger on what it is, but it does

MODERATORS
It's shown that reddit isn't the end all for these kind of sites. There's now multiple players. The end has begun for them.
well I hope they don't miss the 11 years of posts and comments I wiped on my way out as I bet many others have, power delete suite, if anyone needs the tool to wipe still I think it still works.
Reddit already had other issues (bots, spam, etc.), so leaving wasn't a big effort on my part.
Funny thing is I actually got a weeklong ban after I left reddit. I held out until infinity stopped working and then fully switched over to here.
I honestly wished I switched sooner, I always had an interest in Lemmy but never went full on until now. I can't speak for the popularity it will gain because of the nature of FOSS in relation to the general public, but it is definitely a better system overall.
The quality of posts on Reddit have dropped off in my eyes. I still go there during the work day, just don't have it on mobile because the app is so bad.
What I see during the work day on the top of /r/all just isn't that interesting.
It shows how impactful the moderators can be when united in a cause. Curious how that'll pan out with any future potential investors.
I only visit Reddit on occasion to watch how bad the dumpster fire is.
