Haha I literally just came from that post! I left the app, downloaded lemmy, made an account, and apparently get to pick up right where I started.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

100% my actions as well. Looks like we'll be around for another big tech migration LOL!
I wonder what they'll call it?
Signed up to Lemmy today, but held off to see if the Reddit situation was going to get any better. Seems like it won't, so one big hearty fuck you to them.
I'll try and contribute as much as I can to this community.

Well I'm done.
Warned the mod teams in the various subs I mod that I won't be back after the 30th. It's sad because I feel I am letting them down, but the knowledge I've gained from various communities and posts there isn't worth the price now.
Thanks for standing up for what you believe in. I've been a part of reddit myself for more than 15 years on different accounts and I just can't continue to go down the rabbit hole into VC-funded junk. The site seriously started to degrade after the huge venture capitalist investment (from Chinese firms no less) in 2019 and it's just gotten worse in the five years since then.
Will you close your accounts?
I'm quite torn. The various gaming subs I mod have great teams, and are generally great communities. I legit feel like I am doing them a disservice by stepping down and closing accounts at the end of the month.
But doing the work for a company who has no regard for the reason it is a success stings more than the feeling I'll be abandoning some teams of passionate individuals.
I love the 'old' feeling of the internet on here. What I miss from forums in the '90's. I feel like this is the best decision.
But actions speak louder than words. They don't deserve users who they abuse.

Signed up for Lemmy a couple days ago and I now’s the perfect time for my first comment. I’d like to give Reddit a hearty “fuck you” for running an awesome dev out of business with your lying and defamation.
