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.

Yes, I'm really upset about it. It feels like i've had so much taken away from me over my life and I was always willing to accept it and move on, but to see something so simple and innocent get taken away seems just so pointless and depressing. Like why am I not allowed to just have my little shitposting community? is it too much that I get to smile without some capitalist coke rat getting a payday? I hate this so much and there is nothing I can do about it. I will mourn for awhile, until I cant even remember why im upset anymore, and when I wake up tommorrow the world will be just a little bit worse. it always is.

Felt this many times and you couldn't have expressed it better. Sometimes I thought "maybe I'm getting old and you tend to idealize how the world was in your younger years" but the current situation with reddit is a clear example of this not being the case.

As a reddit refugee, happy to start becoming a part of the fediverse :)
