Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.
However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.
I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.
Lemmy is getting there but it's still not a great replacement, especially when it comes to niche topics. For example, the Venture Bros movie came out recently and I wanted to discuss it with other fans, but there's no place on lemmy for that; or if there is, I have been unable to find it. Meanwhile the Venture Bros subreddit has 3 different megathreads. I'm keeping my reddit account around for things like that until lemmy grows a bit more.
A boycott is rarely comfortable.
Sounds like something for the loads of movie subs you could crosspost to?
It is technically a movie, sure. But more accurately, it's the conclusion to a show that's been on the air for almost 20 years. It's not a movie made to stand on it's own. Posting it to a movie sub makes as much sense as posting about ancient Roman senators in a politics sub. It's technically politics, but you're not going to get very meaningful discussion because it's not what people go there for. The only people who would watch this movie are fans of the show, and even if a non-fan watched it, why would I give a shit about their opinion of it? They aren't going to get it.
Are you starting to see the issue?
Yep. Niche community problem right here.
But that's also a niche platform issue on top.
