Asklemmy

I'm done with the site, but I will continue looking at and posting on it, and these things aren't really in conflict. It just means that I'm not going to put forward the kind of energy that I do to posting here. The same is basically true of Twitter since Elon: I made a long statement on my largest account there, and never posted again, just occasionally looked in and saw less and less on the feed each time. I still use an account for crypto Twitter, because crypto Twitter doesn't want to leave.

Regardless of what these execs say in public statements, the balloon has sprung a leak, and the open Internet is back.

I probably would check it out sometimes cuz the game I pretty much only play (old school runescape) doesn't seem to have a community on here... All just sitting on reddit

No. If they did it once they'll do it again.

I commented this on a different thread but I can’t with spez at the helm. even if everything was reversed and he apologized to the 3PA devs he’s a slimy little snake that I can’t trust. i’m really hoping that someone makes an Apollo for kbin though! :)

No. I was already half-way out.

If Kbin and Lemmy keep being this active I'm sticking around here. I'm really enjoying it at this level. More so than Reddit. But if this place dies AND Reddit is less scummy for a while, I might go back.

Lemmy will continue to improve and Reddit will flush itself further down the toilet.

I don't think so. Reddit was lost years ago, and I'm not willing to create a new account just because they rolled back their API changes. They won't, anyways.

I'll go back to reddit if the content is better.

Occasionally dropping shade and telling people to move to a better platform.
No shame, karma is useless.

No. It's a pain in the butt to migrate from Reddit, but it's a blessing in disguise. The decentralized approach is much better and more future proof against bad actors. Having 1 site (or person) holdng all the cards is not something that should appeal to anyone.

No ofc not xd

Many of the communities deserve to be saved (and I will miss some if they don't end up with a fediverse equivalent), but the platform certainly doesn't. When someone demonstrates who they really are, you should believe them. I hope to watch it burn it to the ground, though doubt that will actually happen.

I may go back for casual browsing of the news and some of the niche communities that don't have a community here. But even though reddit will definitely be around, the damage is already done with people having deleted/edited their posts and comments. I wouldnt trust them to not try this stupid shit again once they get complacent.

No, current reddit management has shown their true colors.

@snipeftw: No, the Rubicon has been crossed here. I've always thought Reddit was a bit shit to begin with and some of the things I've read since getting out of there have reinforced my decision that I got out at a good time.

I like Kbin, and will certainly remain active.

But if the board were to remove Huffman for his incompetence and put an alternative, non-brain dead plan in place, I would at least stop deliberately shunning Reddit

I dont think so.

Reddit has become too big for its own good. Admins and mods are on some kind of a power trip (not all), users are questionable at the best. Its no longer a "community".

One thing I would still use reddit for is getting info from some specialized subreddits and troubleshooting my computer as reddit is good for that.

No. I like the Fediverse and feel I am contributing to something new and exciting. Reddit to me feels like old news. It’s saturated with people and with the exception of one community I am trying to bring here, I don’t see myself using it.

I'd prefer not to, but in the end it comes down to usability and content.

If there will be an ad free way to browse the contents and still a lot of communities build around that site, then I'll probably end up there more often then I'd like.
However I've already configured my searx instance to filter it out so that my search engine won't suggest me stuff from there. Accounts are gone as well...

Absolutely not. With the way they handled it, I doubt they wouldn't do something like that again. I like the idea of the fediverse because I don't quite understand it yet, but I'm trying, and it feels like a new experience.

No way. Even if they back down this time, they'll just try again later when we get complacent. Being on guard all the time is exhausting and not worth it when we can simply leave Reddit for good.

I'm done. Way too many bots/trolls.
