I had been using reddit daily for about 10 years for a multitude of reasons. It was a great place to waste time, an amazing tool to get help on niche subjects and a wonderful way to learn… but recently it suffered from it’s own success and generally felt more and more of a cesspool…
I am grateful of the events that transpired, because it has forced me to find an alternative, and evolve my knowledge on different options. I had no idea what Lemmy was yesterday, nor federation or anything… I was thrust into the option of stick with something that was getting bad, or figure out how to do something new that has the potential to be even better! I’m glad I went into uncharted territory.
It’s a little bittersweet that while lemmy does not have the scope that reddit had, resulting in less of a pool to get help from… the prospect of what might become with Lemmy is more than enough to keep me away from reddit.
