That a Welsh username by chance?

And yea, thoroughly depressing.... I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn't care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.

Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn't give a toss. I haven't been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don't think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it.....

Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I'm quite comfortable here :)
