I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

It was their crappy mobile UI and app that drove me to Relay for Reddit. Now that they're getting pushed out I'm done, it's going to hurt a bit but it's the right thing to do.

Man, Reddit and Tumblr were my favourite social medias, what a shame

I feel the same way. I love how reddit had very active communities for pretty much all my interests. Lemmy is not bad but you have to make it happen and who knows if it will happen..

I joined in 2013, left in 2019. I remember watching what was foreign and corporate manipulation of threads via sockpuppet accounts increase over time. After that, every thread posted by an admin whose name was popping up as admin for several subreddits started eating at my impression that this was an "organic" community.

Signed off after killing my account in 2019. I lurked on and off without an account via 3rd party apps and the desire to rejoin the fray never returned.

I've happily been a part of the fediverse since on Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Weeeeeeellllllll, there are a lot of former Reddit users here so you won't miss too much, I think!

Reddit's not what it once was, and won't be ever again if they continue towards IPO even if they walk back some or all of the proposed changes. I might visit occasionally to check up on things, but by-and-large I'm done with it.

Yeah, to be honest, I used the reddit mobile app and I loved reddit and I'm also sad to see it go. However, nothing lasts forever.

my life would be substantially better if i never joined reddit in the first place
