Yeah, I think that loosing access to great communities like OSR, Boardgames, RPG, Horror and horrorlit will hurt, but I'm hoping to find new ones too, with fresh new people and new ideas.

I'm permanently suspended anyway, there's no way back. They somehow find me if I create a new account lol

It’s definitely a strange feeling, I’m not sure that heartbreak is the right term for me. It’s more uncomfortable - I don’t mind the change but the ease of access to all the content I wanted in one place was just so fucking convenient! I know this community will grow with time, and I don’t hate that I’m more comfortable interacting here, but I look forward to the day where I can go back to my room scrolling lurk like the good ole days lol.

A bit. Reddit has been a big part of my life for over a decade. If I lost access to all of those communities, it would be really unfortunate and hard to accept. I'll miss being able to get amazing advice or insightful comments just by adding "reddit" to my google search.

I think the spirit of Reddit will live on though, I doubt that everyone will just vanish and we'll all be stuck on subpar platforms like Twitter, Facebook, or Tiktok.

I'm really excited about the possibility of the new "Reddit" being a federated, self-hostable platform like Lemmy, and solving these periodic exodii issues once and for all! No more dictators deciding the direction the community should go. I'm really impressed with what Lemmy has accomplished so far with its code and its community.

@Acetamide I don't understand why though. We live in a capitalist system, and therefore Reddit has to make money in order to survive. On the current path, Reddit won't exist AT ALL. So we either get a Reddit with some fees that devs don't like, or no Reddit at all.

I miss what I lack, but reddit was also going stagnant. Time to build something greater. Decentralized, but moderated, social media is an interesting idea.

Lemmys devs' political... "Leanings" sure concern me though

Sometimes it's time for a change.

It's so stupid that people would react so emotionally as to relate their feelings to a breakup. This should be a concern to each and every one of you. It's a website. Reacting this way is delusional. You can get your dopamine hit elsewhere, with TikTok and other sources being still available, so why the breakdown?

The rage from the Reddit community has been surprising but this broken form of emotional regulation is embarrassing.

I feel that. Reddit's bit of an addiction for me. I don't use other social media so it became my one stop shop for news, inspiration, and to connect with all the little niche intrest.

Oddly, I was frequently just doom scrolling r/all to see what was going on the the world. And when I ran out of revent stuff if just sort by new. Super unhealthy behavior.

Hopfully this transition will help me slow down a bit and get back to reality.
