Just realized that the other day.
I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, “I’m here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn’t responding in any meaningful way to the community’s requests” and now I think I’ll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.
It’s different here, but it hasn’t been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.
Every once in a while I go back and quickly check through the reddit alternative threads/subs and plug Lemmy a few times.
Besides that, it’s been an incredible feeling to suddenly be free from the toxicity over there. It’s amazing how much different the mood is over here. Went from an atmosphere of apathetic cynicism to one of idealistic comraderie. Like night and day.
