Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
RiF being killed was the last straw for me and Reddit.
They just don't care so long as they are making money. I was doxxed twice last year thanks to two different user on a fandom I moderated. They didn't care that I was openly DOXed, pretty much them saying that it wasn't their problem.
They just don't care about people, just how much trouble they will get in and how much money is to be made.
So this whole "only money matters" ideal is a symptom of a larger issue that is going to get worse.
FYI, you can patch RiF with Revanced to use your own OAuth token. I did it, and it works, but I'm not actually using it anymore/haven't been to reddit for a while.
I just did it as more of a "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" thing than anything else.
I deleted RiF and removed all shorcuts and icons that lead to reddit
I'm going with a mixture of cold turkey and "out of sight, out of mind"
Thankfully lemmy helps.
