Hey all. I’m a recent reddit refugee and the /r/Brisbane sub is the one I’m gonna miss the most. It would be nice to make this community just as vibrant!

Anyone else here leaving reddit permanently? Or just trying this fediverse thing out?

    Stopped using reddit prior to this API thing (also left digg before the redesign) because I could feel the decline, had tildes.net on the side, used Lemmy without an account and made a Mastodon account on aus.social. Not a huge fan of Mastodon as there is minimal discussion there unless it’s tech-related. I’ve literally asked questions about a toot to no reply; it’s really strange, a higher functioning narcissism perhaps.

    Will leave reddit permanently but unsure if I delete my data. I always tried to add helpful and education info to my posts so if an AI wants to make money from it, I’m up in the air if I want that or not. Maybe if I could be sure it was used for good, not evil.

    I’m close to a full delete but I’ve got near 15 years there of specific stuff that I never found clearly anywhere else on the web. It’s always about money.
