I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    The only reason I logged into Reddit at all in the last 12 days was to request my data. Unless something drastic changes, I don’t think I’ll go back to Reddit at all. It was the only social media platform I still used.

    I was on Reddit through all the bad times and I think they finally had a really good user base of people who actually cared about the platform. It was inevitable that it was going to all fall apart though. That’s just how capitalism works. They try to wring blood out of stone until they squeeze so hard that they crush the stone.

      Can I ask what’s the value in asking for your data? And how do you go about doing it?

      I plan on going back and spoiling my comments but I am petty and would also love to do anything I can to make them pay someone to work more. (I do this every time I get mad about a stupid fee too - I call and make someone getting paid $10/hr explain why that fee exists… Until their time has paid the fee. Politely of course! Not to harass the employees but to make the company spend more money collecting the fee than the fee was worth.)
