Asklemmy

Nope, being an open source and privacy zealot I wanted to switch to Lemmy well before anyone cared about it. But I deleted my account because it had like twenty active people on it at most. Now that it's gaining users I'm definitely staying. I wasn't very active on Reddit for quite a while anyway, discussion grew repetitive.

No, they showed their hand and they will not change their attitude. They got caught in their lies and their malicious intentions. I do not mind them behaving like a business, I mind that they are becoming unethical in the way they are pursuing their goals, because they think we are passive enough that will accept such type of conduct without batting an eyelash.

No. This whole Fediverse feels like Reddit did in the beginning. Real conversations. Real sense of community. No pointless bloat or mindless repetition. I started actually participating because I'm not drowned out with a million ridiculous generic comments minutes after a post. Reddit will undoubtedly continue, but not with me as a part of it.

If Kbin and Lemmy keep being this active I'm sticking around here. I'm really enjoying it at this level. More so than Reddit. But if this place dies AND Reddit is less scummy for a while, I might go back.

No. Reddit's enshitification started a long time ago. This is just the catalyst. Corpo-stooges can get bent

Sure. In the same vein, I'll go back to twitter if elon musk somehow restored it to the way it was before before his purchase.

Neither scenario will happen, of course. But if we're talking about hypotheticals, I wouldn't have an issue returning.

I don't use Reddit on my computer, only browse it using RIF and my reddit usage will stop when the RIF stops working.

No.

There are two medical subs I care about and that have been reluctant to keep protesting or moving people over to Lemmy. For those I will probably compile Infinity with my own API key. But I will unsub from everything else.

maybe if spez is also removed, and the board reselected

I deleted my 17 year old account. There's no going back, even if Reddit did backtrack it would be temporary. The enshitification has started and can't be stopped.

I think (see: hope) that reddit has shown where its goals are aligned. Any backpedaling they do at this point can only ever look like damage control.

No ofc not xd

No, Spez showed his true colors, I would never go back to reddit ruled by that elon wannabe, the fediverse seems like a good option, and hopefully will grow more.

It's definitely a wait and see situation. My Reddit account is gone, so if Lemmy continues to grow I see no reason why I'd go back. If Lemmy dies, then obviously I wouldn't have anywhere else to go.

I would probably try and advertise the fediverse over there.

I'll go back to reddit if the content is better.

Occasionally dropping shade and telling people to move to a better platform.
No shame, karma is useless.

No, current reddit management has shown their true colors.

Only if /u/spez gets fired without any sort of compensation. As long as he has any sort of power over Reddit he'll just wait and try to pull this again.

No. It would be different if they just killed third party apps (with appropriate notice) and like, I would be upset, since Apollo is genuinely one of the best pieces of software I've ever used, but I would just use old Reddit on my phone like I do with my computer, and it would be fine. But the outright hostility spez has shown for users means I will never post there again, and I'm signed out unless I need to find something on my account. The final straw was spez's response to the blackouts, which I would summarize as "Once they get over their little temper tantrum, they'll come crawling back to us." It was condescending, insulting, and frankly infuriating. He can't even pay lip service to the most dedicated members of the site, so god knows what he's saying in private. Why on earth should we spend any time on a site who's leadership so clearly despises us?

Backtracking on API would only be one part of the puzzle. I won't go back while Huffman is CEO. And if RIF still closes down then I still say fuck 'em.

No way, federated universe has opened my eyes. Rather stay here and help grow the community instead

It’s hard to imagine a scenario where I go back to Reddit.
I really like FOSS but I’m not a true believer type, and this whole situation just really icked me out on Reddit. I wasn’t even a third-party app person, I mostly used the official app on my iPhone. But before June 12 I deleted it and downloaded Apollo instead. Since June 12 I have barely interacted with it.
I’ve been trying out every alternative since. Kbin, Mastodon, RSS feeds, Tumblr, hell I’ve even been trying out Instagram although I know Meta is arguably worse. Kbin + RSS feeds + Tumblr is almost there, just need a lot more discussion on Kbin.
Tl;dr: really, probably, no.

Reddit will get increasingly worse the moment they go public, even if they backpeddal on all of the BS (and they did to some extent), I'm already envisioning several Twitter/Twitch/YouTube-like anti-user monetization features that will trickle down one by one over the years. The owners and admins have shown their true colors, there is no undoing that.

If it weren't for how rough (and personally, confusing) Lemmy is right now, I wouldn't even consider going back. But if the growth stalls, and communities remain super small, I might hop back, which is why I haven't deleted my content and account over there yet.

No way. Even if they back down this time, they'll just try again later when we get complacent. Being on guard all the time is exhausting and not worth it when we can simply leave Reddit for good.

That's a negatory Ghost Rider.
