Fuck Reddit, all my homies lemmy.
I'm not going back, I only used Reddit because it is what I was used to. I've given Lemmy a real chance and greatly prefer it now.
I was a Relay user but I'm pretty damn easy to please tech wise so if the 3rd party app shutdown existed in a vaccuum I'd probably be fine with the allegedly shitty official app. What I can't condone is the moneygrabbing and end-user belittling behavior of the reddit execs so I am not going back. If lemmy doesn't pan out then I'll re-learn bookreading and be better for it.
Guess what: Reddit needs its users a lot more than users need Reddit.
at least it gave Lemmy the kick it needed, and the quantity and quality of posts will simply never be the same. Also Reddit, FUCK YOUR REDESIGN AND FUCK YOUR APP. Javascript bloat that doesn't respect you.
Well not after Sync goes down.
I'm not using their shitty official app. I've tried it before and it honestly makes me question how reddit is even popular when so many users are accessing it through that mess. Like, this is the only experience for many, and it's pretty rough.
I'm done, I primarily use reddit on mobile - you take RiF from me, I'm gone.
I suspect many of us are here to stay. I for one burned the bridge behind me when I left. I serve a new master now. Long live the Fediverse.
Kinda like Cortez burning his ships... Motivation
