I'm doing my part. I hope others do an exodus and not a hiatus.

I think there’s a lot of us who are fed up. Reddit was an important part of my life but I haven’t been back since the AMA and I don’t intend to.

There's enough content here on lemmy to scratch my itch to scroll

[-] Tragic@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s like 2% of Reddit, needs more adoption and to be more user friendly

[-] Hindufury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For sure. I'm enjoying it, but reddit's downfall really depends on how many divest from it and can join us here. I think it'll be fine because people are coming and there will be guides to help folks navigate, but only time will tell

there will be no "downfall" and i think that attitude will make things harder for a place like this to thrive

it needs to be kinda its own thing. we need more than one place for this type of shit. Reddit is fine honestly. they are a business (maybe a shitty one) but thats the game

it just sucks that there isint another option, so when people started jumping ship i joined em.

i just dont want one mega corp to own the data on the internet as much as i can help it (which admittedly is not much) so this seemed like a real easy way to try

Downfall was definitely the wrong word to use. I want this to be impactful and make Reddit change course, but that can only happen if enough people leave.

[-] RomeCallen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

ya i get it but i still think the better way to think about all this is that Reddit will probably not change anything, they probs wont loose that many users over this specific thing

but if the people that are here now, just stay here and contribute, that can only be a good thing

we need more spaces on the net. diversity and all that shit. its not good for the internet i want to exist to have only one front page. we need more

[-] Hindufury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Build lemmy up in spite of what happens. I can dig that

[-] genuineparts@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I'm waiting for reddit to send me my personal data, so I can make my comments unuseable for anything, I guess they either are wise of it or there are a lot more requests than usual, but I'm done with reddit. And there is more and more big name sites i'm just... not wanting to interact with anymore.

[-] Micromot@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah same i just want to backup my stuff before getting rid of it all

[-] genuineparts@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That and I want to completely destroy my history so it hurts anyone using reddit for AI Training, just replace all my comments with markov chain nonsense
