When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.
Now that it’s starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?
14 year old account with lots comment activity. Deleted all of the posts and then the account the moment I understood what was going on.
Anyway everything on Reddit had been created in about a decade and something better be recreated again even faster. The above analogy of Reddit being a library is a bit off to my ears-- Reddit is not the content you find there, Reddit is the people; the expertise, the moderation, the consideration, the passion. We can safely burn the siphons tapped into people’s passions and let the energies of the people pour elsewhere.
