Asklemmy

Yeah a little bit

The sad part is potentially losing all the information, communities, etc. You can pretty much expect any company to go bad, so it makes no sense to get attached to a company.

A bit heartbroken, but I always wanted decentralized forum like the old days. Having it federated makes it better and I hope Lemmy can succeed as an alternative. Using something that is too centralized make it hard if something like this happens.

Though I hope I can still search for x topic + lemmy (instead of x topic + reddit) for when I want to find some opinions on x topic.

Honestly it feels refreshing

8 years of LTL on old reddit and RiF, and it's a weird mixture of grief and freedom at the same time.

Not really sad. I never found reddit inspired deep connections to communities anyways. It's not so bad to change things up now and again.

My main issue is all the useful information that might be gone with a decent chunk of people editing and removing their comments or even subreddits going private
Otherwise, I got perma-banned from Reddit for commenting the navy seal copypasta in a thread where people were clearly sarcastic so I don't care

I'm going to miss reddit but I'm also excited because I really like the idea of the fediverse and I'm hoping this makes it take off even more. People need to start moving away from centralized social media IMHO, how many times do platforms need to get ruined before people realize centralized platforms run by megacorps always end the same?

I came back to Apollo for a while on a new iPad. I am so sad to see it go - it's one of the top parts of iOS I actually miss. Certainly sad to not use it nor Boost anymore.

The new girl is hot though

It’s definitely a strange feeling, I’m not sure that heartbreak is the right term for me. It’s more uncomfortable - I don’t mind the change but the ease of access to all the content I wanted in one place was just so fucking convenient! I know this community will grow with time, and I don’t hate that I’m more comfortable interacting here, but I look forward to the day where I can go back to my room scrolling lurk like the good ole days lol.

I'm sad, as my account is many years old since digg days. But I hardly comment or post, and dgaf about karma, so I am considering deleting in total rather than just stop using. At the same time, I'm interested to know how it'll play out.

Like Netflix, despite the public outcry, we may well see that reddit is still alive and well after this. /shrug.

I'm excited, I've been fediverse curious for a while. This gives the power back to the people

Yes. It's broody true. I spend 13 years with reddit and it's gone. The last time it was my favourite local football team bankrupt after I been a fan for 25 years. These hobbies since my young days are gone, one by one. I have find something that really worth my time.

I do feel some kind of sadness, but I feel... free. Reddit started becoming addictive to me some time ago and I have noticed that Lemmy seems to have less trolls, perverts, power tripping mods and just simply batshit crazy people. I do feel an urge to check out how Reddit is doing, but I'll soon go to a place without a proper internet connection so I think I'll finally be able to cure my Reddit addiction. My experience with Lemmy has been very positive so far.
