    You mean, left reddit when shit hit the fan?

    I’m one of them. It’s going great here. Was just pointed to a new community for Lemmy addons that looks super helpful: [email protected]

    I’m never going back. There’s good interactions and engagement, and the content is growing every day.

    I’m here and I’ve sworn off Reddit. Sometimes I end up there via Google search though. It’s amassed a huge amount of knowledge and it’s…unfortunate that so many Google searches yield Reddit results, and those results are occasionally unique.

    I only intentionally use Lemmy, and I definitely am giving up a lot for principal. I find it disheartening that the weekly observation threads are old and outdated that are pinned here, and I want weekly threads for current observations.

    I want this community more active but also more maintained.

    I am here as a Reddit refugee. I’ve noticed a lot of the communities here that interest me haven’t hit any sort of critical mass for participation sadly…but I check in most days anyway.

    Oh yeah, I deleted my account over there a while ago, because of the ridiculous power tripping of the mods.

    Yeah and I don’t miss it either. Too many people on that sub, started to just be generic stupid shit

    The discussions here are already clearly better

      I’ve popped back on several occasions and the signal to noise ratio over there makes me nauseous.

      It’s absolute garbage and even if you dig into some threads, the comments are reactionary and argumentative.

    I finally bailed on Reddit too. There’s no reason to be on a centralized, for profit platform while we ride out the end of civilization. I wish each and every one of you the best possible conclusion to this wild human experience.

      We only need a relatively small number of steady quality contributors to make it work. Adding more members will just degrade the signal/noise ratio.

    I started pulling away from Reddit when they banned chapo

    When the API changes came I saw there were alternatives taking off, so I finished jumping ship
