For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I just keep thinking to myself, "it's the end of an era"

Reddit has been the only social network I've used for 12 years. I've watched it go through so much change over the years, but it always felt like even at its worst, it showed its users more respect and gave them more control over what content they saw than any other social network out there. I am cautiously optimistic about the future of Lemmy, but it makes me sad to watch RiF and Reddit phase out of my life.
