…how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I’m definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

    I’ve been a Redditor for 12+ years, but I will definitely keep hanging out here and I’ll keep being active. The community here right now reminds me a lot of the good things of early Reddit, and I like that.

      I think I will stay, I’m a 15 year redditor, I’m really pissed at the management. They’ve never been great. The community has been doing all the work for so long, posting, commenting, moderating, developping apps and tools. And these guy think they are better? They are even saying it will calm down.

      Remove this guy as CEO, cancel this API nonsense and we will see.

      But in the meantime. I’m here and the more time passes. The more comfy I get.

        ya right

        like i have no social media loyalty. reddit was a habit. a time waster. the only thing that sucks about moving away from reddit is im not sure how to find old posts and shit here but im sure either i or someone much smarter will figure it out. in the end, i just want more places to go on the net

        maybe im old, but i wax nostalgic for the forum days. and this feels like it

      Same, and I’m hyped for something new and better. This absolutely reminds me of early Reddit and I’m totally here for it.

      It’s open source so anyone can contribute. With how much feedback everyone is giving, hopefully that means things will continue to get better.
