The reddit exodus during the API policy changes and 3rd party app shutdowns
I think I did try out Lemmy even before that. I remember making an account in Mander to try it out. Didn't use it much and forgot about it, even the username.
I didn't know about the Fediverse or Lemmy then. Didn't know about the progressive political background of Lemmy and the development too.
Then made this account. It's nice.
I still use reddit with Infinity for Reddit, since communities on my state, country and mother tongue are more active there(I'm from Kerala/India).
- Multi-communities would be very good to have.
- A feature to save draft comments/posts on the Jerboa app would be cool too. Not directly related to Lemmy tho
I think both have been brought to attention of the developers and they have plans to add that. Cool people.
Got a new phone and decided to use the opportunity to change up alot about how I do things, including using new social media platforms
Not sure which wave in the toilet bowl I rode in on, but I do know I will one day be flushed.
Don't hang on to tightly.
Reddit being ass
i’m in the US and am becoming increasingly worried about privacy online (as if i needed more reasons). as a leftist, i believe it will become even more difficult to organize in the near future and want to protect myself as much as possible. i know nothing can truly assure me my information won’t be compromised but i’m going to try and do what i can to limit the possibility. also, dealing with reddit, twitter, and bluesky have convinced me to abandon popular social media. i don’t even like using YouTube.
i want to belong to a community of likeminded people who understand the seriousness of privacy and the reality of potential revolution in the US.
Not reddit but the same
Apollo for Reddit died. Came here as it was supposedly a better experience. Used to be super active and use Reddit for hours a day for nearly a decade, now I barely use this platform at all as it’s insufferable and tiny tbh. The Linux Cultism here is off the charts and cringe as fuck, the communities are tiny and spammy and bloat the All page, so I block users and communities every day, and it’s been a pretty mediocre experience here for the year I’ve used it. Reddit is ofc a crapshoot now so it’s not worth going back, so I just use this platform for maybe 5-10m a day and that’s all my social media browsing for the day. So Reddit dying and not being replaced with a decent alternative actually cracked my addiction for endless scrolling which is super nice.
Just ban Linux as a keyword? It’s easy to do on the voyager app.
