for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

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 not really. I am not fully abandoning reddit either but in my case it's less about a boycott and more the fact that I almost exclusively access reddit on my phone and I find the official app genuinely too frustrating to use. This isn't even like an anger thing, I literally can't figure the piece of shit out. So once Relay is dead I am just going to be visiting reddit way, way less. From my perspective this wasn't my choice, reddit has forced me out. But for a good few years now I have been looking for an excuse to branch out. It's been a toxic cesspool of fascist enabling for some time so I am actually a little grateful this is happening now. I needed a little push to get myself off their platform for the most part. And so far the Lemmyverse looks pretty promising to me.
