MODERATORS
 

I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

You sound like a battered wife lol. Have some self respect and ditch them for good.

Nah, I won't return in a meaningful way. Come June 30, I'm fully deleting my 10+ y.o. account. I may make another burner one to be able to follow a few niche communities (mostly snark subreddits) that I'm certain won't be moving over. But I don't plan to contribute or even lurk in a meaningful way anymore.

I'm excited about the promise the Fediverse holds. It's refreshing to me. I've been longing for a better social web experience, something like I remember having 10-15 years ago, and I'm feeling hopeful that the communities developing here can give me some of that magical feeling back.

All depends on what subs I’m missing

I don't use Reddit on my computer, only browse it using RIF and my reddit usage will stop when the RIF stops working.

Nope, Reddit is dead to me no matter what now. I don’t care about API, it’s how they handled it. I’m also quite liking Kbin and most of my hobbies discussions had already moved to Discord anyway

Only if /u/spez gets fired without any sort of compensation. As long as he has any sort of power over Reddit he'll just wait and try to pull this again.

Backtracking on API would only be one part of the puzzle. I won't go back while Huffman is CEO. And if RIF still closes down then I still say fuck 'em.
