I’ve never seen a company burn so much goodwill so fast and so unnecessarily.

    Me too. Even though I would make new accounts regularly on Reddit, this feels different. A true tabula rasa moment. We will write the future!

    And apparently that future starts with the word “Beans”.

    I have no intention of going back to Reddit, but I can’t bring myself to delete the profile yet lol

    Welcome!

    I did delete my main account and have been mainlining lemmy for my enjoyment, it’s great here and the upvotes and comments are really kicking off now.

    I remade a Reddit account to only use for my googles for things (path of exile help atm)

    If I do find myself replying, I’ll be using chatgpt to write the most nothing shit. I literally can’t use Reddit on my phone thanks to that awful official app.

    Thank fuck for Memmy!

    Reddit doesn’t make anything, the users make the content.

    It’s both hilarious and sad that Huffman would choose to alienate users. Seriously biting the hand that feeds.

      It has been much more of a slow burn on Twitter. Plus, more people used Twitter for real time news, which is a more difficult thing to replace than the shitposting and discussion that Reddit was used for more.

    Y’all are so dramatic lmao. Acting like this is a big life event. You went from looking at shitposts on one app to looking at shit posts on another.

      Some of these young ones might not have been through a big social media migration before. If Reddit was the only way (or biggest way) they interacted with the internet then it would be a big life event to them.

      They have to relearn how to search, verify facts (hah), find porn, and wonder if sarcasm works the same. Idk man let people enjoy their Reddit shit talking. I’m enjoying them shit talk.

    I haven’t, because boost somehow still works on it, but after finding the Jerboa app that feels so much like boost, understanding a little more about the instances and all, picking one that i liked, and seeing that the lemmy community is much more interesting. I am just scrolling here now.
