Not entirely. I tried to leave when they enforced the initial API changes, but there's just not enough content on Lemmy to satisfy me. I ended up finding Relay for Reddit which uses the API and costs me a couple dollars a month. I still won't contribute to Reddit anymore (no voting, posting, or commenting), but it was a great way to get content from my long curated lost of subreddits. Now I won't be able to use the Relay app anymore. I'm never using the Reddit app, so that leaves browsing on mobile using Firefox with uBlock Origin and Reddit Bouncer to cut through all the shit. I'm not sure I'll actually browse that way, but I didn't think I'd go back at all after the initial API changes either.

It's not just the API (and rss) that is getting axed, automoderator and old reddit have also officially moved to the chopping block.

Sanitation and his army of bots operate through a Firefox extension so I think we'll still get the trash posts from reddit, at least!

Hopefully they don't get scared off by one of our resident trolls

when they fully force a login from lurkers, people might come.

Back in my day we had the Digg to Reddit exodus.

here in an overview to the thrediverse defederations. Maybe its a bit to much at first to show this but now its an opportunity to use a bookmark so im gonna use it

Agree that mods are more of a problem here than Reddit. Never been banned from a sub on Reddit in +15 years, here it took a couple months, but everything else is still better. The constant ads made to look like posts was the last straw for me.

Man i was so confused, my first run in with the soapy tiddies memes was some Sheila with cambells soup cans over her boobs talking about soapy tiddies.

Then I scrolled further and it all came together.

It's the new beans

They’re going the way of Twitter and Facebook. They started with rich, open, and supported developer platforms. They actively courted devs. Once they hit critical mass (thanks to devs making the platform good and attracting users), they rug-pulled and became what they are now. Same thing is happening with Reddit.

I kinda like that they're becoming more openly hostile. It's fun to watch.

I still can't believe they just came out and said that new users switching to Old Reddit is a problem that needs to be fixed, by removing their access to Old Reddit. You'd think they'd try to word it in a more deceptive manner at least. Or just keep it to themselves.

I'll make a wild guess that you too came here from reddit. That makes you one of those people. We're all just redditors telling ourself a comforting story about how we're better than those people over there.

Welcome, I hope you have a better experience here
