for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

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've been on Reddit for 11 years. I have looked for alternatives in the past - I tried voat for about 10 minutes before realizing how terrible its userbase was.

Reddit's quality started noticably dropping in like 2018 for me, mostly due to the massive number of repost bots. I've really enjoyed being forced to find new forum style sites.. assuming you're a tech nerd, there are a ton of good options out there. And Lemmy/kbin (plus whatever else people make) have huge potential in my opinion.

I'll probably still occasionally use old.reddit until they kill that and/or RES. But I don't think I'm really a redditor anymore
