For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

Honestly? Yes. That said, this seems nice. I just wish I still had RES. Does anyone know of a way that I could have images open on the page instead of having to open them in a new tab? That's bugging me a lot.

Not really sad. I never found reddit inspired deep connections to communities anyways. It's not so bad to change things up now and again.

My main issue is all the useful information that might be gone with a decent chunk of people editing and removing their comments or even subreddits going private
Otherwise, I got perma-banned from Reddit for commenting the navy seal copypasta in a thread where people were clearly sarcastic so I don't care

A little sad, but I am not as attached to specific communities online. I’ve seen subreddits rise and fall too, so this just feels like another chance to find something new.

Ya. But I’m kind of relieved. Place has been pretty toxic and the content has been getting more and more lame. I’m excited to be somewhere new and start fresh. Maybe reverse some of the bad habits that are contagious with how I engage too.

It turns into relief meanwhile. Actually, I want Reddit to die as fast as possible.

I deleted my Facebook-account a couple of years ago. At the beginning it felt a bit weird. But in hindsight it was one of the best decisions. My Twitter-Account got deleted in fall last year. And again: It was a good decision. I expect the decision to delete my Reddit-Account to be equally liberating.

The new girl is hot though

Yeah Reddit has a lot of really valuable communities that are not ruined imo. For some of those niche communities the other option for discourse/information is Tiktok which I don't like because the discourse is super fragmented and hard to follow.

Yeah. Here’s hoping this is just the beginning of something better

@Acetamide This has been coming for a long time, I'm glad the community is being a chance to move on to spaces which aren't just trying to suck blood.

[–] j8stereo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

No; good riddance.

[–] hangyor@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah a little bit
