People on lemmy are the same fuckwad assholes you meet on reddit. It's not like being a better person is enforced on the lemmyverse outside of a couple of instances like hexbear and lemmygrad. idk maybe it's me but it's like why bother, why not just use reddit if you're going to be a shitty person or overall debate pervert? Weird shit.

I really don't think reddit nuking a tons of very useful tools and 3rd party frontends is that petty of a reason. It's not the most morally grand reason but it's not that petty. I mean making the expxeirnece of using a product far worse especially if you are a moderator or use third party mobile frontends is definitely a reasonable reason to not want to use reddit anymore.

At least it was the main reason for me to move away from reddit for good. Back then I was already in hexbear some of the time, and I was unhappy with reddit and how terrible it was. However, a lot of small communities I frequented were still there and the inertia was too great. When the API happened it killed the app I used to browse reddit, and the official reddit app sucked ass, so I just moved to hexbear full time and I open reddit like once a month on my laptop.

After almost a decade of checking reddit all the time, the API shit made me quit reddit cold turkey. So it was impactful at least for some people.
