Lemmy is my new home now and it'll stay that way.
I'm not going to be drastic on reddit yet, I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data, but I''ll immediately unsub from all the subs I'm currently in save for a few very niche that are hard to replace (for now).
I'll probably check in every now and then those niche but I'll definitely stop posting.
I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data
I did this last week using their official portal and they haven't gotten back to me yet... I wonder how many others have done the same lol
Edit: fix formatting
Submitted my GDPR request a few minutes ago, I too would love to know many are doing the same, would be nice to flood them with it :D
Same here. I've already replaced my mobile app with one for lemmy and used these two days to take on the habit coming here instead of reddit. I've submitted a request as well. Will delete my account shortly after. I was using reddit to lurk mostly or get angry at trolls/toxic people anyway, it's just better for me if I just forget about it.
Nah reddit can fuck itself. I don't want to support them.
I went there for a moment to check if any of my subreddits were making polls and the amount of redditors against this strike was depressing. I'm happy that I left this shithole and those braindead people behind.
Bit of a self-selecting group being polled right now, tbf
Yeah, I was going to say, anyone whoβs creating polls on Reddit rn doesnβt know much about how to sample & avoid biasβ¦
People can have different views. No reason to call the braindead. I plan on using both but to be primarily here.
I'm gonna go back to reddit long enough to get the rules for important support groups I'm in to make them here on Lemmy. I'll then post about it in the support groups before leaving Reddit.
Hey could you pick me up a coulpe memes while your there?
Thnx
I gotcha fam.
16 year reddit veteran here. I'm gonna stay here, create communities, and submit content in the hopes that others do the same. Honestly, we don't need even .1% of the users to make a great community, we just need the users we have to be active.
Iβm all-in on Lemmy and hope you all will stick around too. I blew away my Reddit account and all my post history today.
I'm sticking to lemmy at this point because of the principal.
I may only be one person out of millions, but I'm not giving reddit a lick of traffic unless Spez publicly acknowledges and apologizes to the dev for the false accusations, and to it's communities.
I figure, if my time on reddit is a just drop in the bucket, people should have no room to be angry with me if I leave reddit permanently. If the user base is so unimportant, reddit shouldn't miss us when we go. If the CEO is going to imply that people will get attacked by us for wearing reddit merch, then I want NOTHING to do with that platform.
People are hilarious if they think that reddit will suddenly stop it's shenanigans at removing 3rd party apps. When they go public, you can probably kiss most of your favourite content goodbye.
It's ironic too, because certain specific communities who are angry at the blackout will probably truly lose free speech when reddit goes public. Everything will likely have to be very suitable to advertisers and whoever has a stake in ownership.
I will make lemmy my new home. Will uninstall reddit as I did with twitter.
Will remain here, CEO has shown how much of a scum he is.
I'm here and I don't have plans to go back to reddit. Regardless of what happens, spez showed his hand, and I don't want to support that kind of bullshit.
Also: FOSS is awesome, and that's another reason in my view to stick to Lemmy.
I want to stay on Lemmy because it's small, cool, and new. Reddit has shown zero repentance for their mistreatment of the community, and the rampant defeatism and pessimism of its users in response to the blackout is nauseating. People who are angry at having their routine distractions disrupted, and are entirely apathetic to things. Not me. I'll take the extra jump even though it's hard. I'm tired of tech companies doing whatever they want with impunity because they have a monopoly on their corner of social media.
I'll pop in occasionally on reddit, with adblock and without interacting with things just to see if there's any changes. But when it comes to engaging with content, I'll bring my attention elsewhere, Lemmy for the time being.
Staying away from Reddit for sure. The people make Reddit, not the corporation. I go where my people are.
I'm staying; I may go and check in on my old subreddits periodically, but my new home is here.
I'm a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We've been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I'm probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.
I'm having the opposite feeling. I also mod a sub of that size. The thought has crossed my mind to make that community here, sticky a thread in the sub, turn off automod, sign out, and let nature do the rest.
Edit: community made. Any users from, living in, or in some way attached to Alabama, feel free to find Sweet Home Alabama !alabama
Gonna stick with Lemmy, but monitor Reddit's activity.
I expect a lot of subreddits will be left indefinitely closed as well, which the admins are probably going to take over forcefully.
Lemmy is pretty nice to use so far.
80/20, Lemmy/Reddit.
Trending to 100/0.
I'm no longer going to provide my services as a mod to reddit for free, though I may read some of my favorite subs again. I won't be spending hours each week there, like I previously did. Fuck spez for what he did to Apollo (and other third-party apps).
I'll be using both but I hope the strike goes on longer. Reddit mods have no idea how to strike or what a strike entails. Imagine if ghandi broke his hunger strike because he got hungry.
Iβm staying here. I canβt use a site that treats its community like that
I'm stubborn enough not to.
Maybe I'll go to swipe some content to repost and hopefully continue to build the communities up here.
But just like with my migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there ain't no way I'm going back now.
I've removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I'm here to say!
Honestly even if Reddit reverses the API changes I'm still making Lemmy my new home. I'll still use Reddit from time to time, but I won't be posting any content there. Looking forward to becoming a Lemon! π
Lemmy all the way, all Reddit accounts I had since the Digg days have been deleted but not before I replaced all posts and comments with gibberish. Scorched Earth
Stay here, might be that I land on Reddit when googling stuff but I'll look for news, memes etc. here.
Staying here for sure
I'm likely going to stick with Lemmy regardless of how Reddit steers course. I love that it's "by the people," and I don't mind the smaller community.
Plus, I'm old enough now that I'm getting used to moving on to "the next" online community.
Deleted my reddit today. Staying here cause
just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.
I'll be using both, taking content from reddit and posting it here would help lemmy grow
I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.
That official app is never touching my phone though.
Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.
i plan on going on reddit to see if any communities are migrating, but I'm liking Lemmy a lot. only exception would be for r/askmechanics
If things keep improving and growing the way they are I'll be staying. Will probably be inevitable that I'll end up on Reddit due to a Google search but I hope that as friction decreases higher quality contributors will continue to find a home here.
