This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I had a more hate than love relationship with Reddit over the last decade. Quit and rejoined twice. I viewed it as a necessary evil so I could keep up with some smaller tech subreddits.
So I was more than happy to delete my account for good after the events of the last month. Looking forward to being here.
The nexus poster on Twitter are often technically inept (journos, real life famous people, etc.). Therefore I understand the migration to Mastodon and such going slowly. But I have high hopes for the likes of federated Reddit-alternatives, since Reddit’s audience is a much more technical crowd. The only fear I have is the FOSS community’s infamous infighting over non-issues. As long as things like Lemmy or kbin are federating, this is probably a non-issue, but as soon as two or more of the major players get hung up on something irrelevant and cannot reconcile, the party is over as soon as it began.
Once Bacon Reader died, I stopped. It's sad. I was subbed to a lot of fun and interesting subreddits. But fuck spez, that greedy little pig boy. Lemmy seems like reddit lite for the moment, but I'm sure it will grow.
Yup same here with RIF gone, fuck that and fuck spez. The sad thing is that Reddit is so old that there's always little niche subs that have a lot of mileage that are really nice to figure out new stuff. Like I was looking at Add-ons for Kodi in my last days and probably will still have to resort to go there once in a while for stuff like that.
I am kind of liking it with less people. It's more like how reddit used to be when I joined. You could have really great conversations with people.
I’m here too having signed up this morning. I am still hoping for a good iOS mobile experience. Either way I’m here for the long run. I’m done with Reddit.
Now we wait for them to kill old.reddit and Reddit will finally be the low-energy TikTok clone Spez wants it to be.
If I didn't have a subreddit to moderate, I would walk away now that I can't use apollo.
Reddit directly inspired the creation of the instance I'm on with that shitshow.
It’s the only reason I’m here checking out how this works.
deleted my account on Sunday. never going back.
Not long made the switch and so far I'm liking it. Subscribing to remote communities is more complicated than I think it needs to be but, meh, you only do it once. Fingers crossed it keeps growing, Reddit was fun for a good while but it's been heading downhill fast recently.
I used the mobile app for reddit while falling asleep and that was 99% of my interaction with the site unless it popped up from a google search while on the PC. I'll still use it for that probably, but no way I am using that dumpster fire of an app. Mobile use died with apollo for me
I used Reddit for over a decade, and much of that was with Apollo. Not going back purely because of how they treated Christian and the other 3rd party devs
I stepped away from Reddit after Apollo shut down in part out of spite and to stand against the crap from Reddit but mostly because Apollo made Reddit usable.
Including me
I deleted my 11 year old account today, don't want to be a part of that community anymore.
Dumb question. I've been off reddit and here for about a month. Today 7-2 I opened my boost app and infinity app and noticed new posts. I thought all the api apps were shutting down 6-30?
Switch to lemmy and wefwef :)
Reddit? Now here's a blast from the past! Is that thing still around? I've not been there since Sync died.
