Still can't fathom deleting my Reddit account, even though I was always much more of a lurker. I was quicker with Twitter --> Mastodon. Deleted everything as soon as the shit started hitting the fan and didn't look back. I'm sold on Lemmy, though. I'm getting a whole lot of what I was getting there around these parts, and it seems to be a wee bit more friendly for the kind of people me likey.
I feel you. I am signing up for Lemmy, even though I still hope that Reddit's shitshow will be resolved by June 30th. I joined Reddit around 16 years ago and while I nuked many alt accounts in this timeframe, nuking the final one, knowing it will be my departure from the site feels... weird.
Lemmy has a long way to go before it can be an actual replacement, but seeing the steady stream of new users over the past few days, I can see the potential. It feels very much like when I first joined Reddit.
that's the cool thing - I had that same feeling joining Mastodon. It's nice being part of something new, being on the forefront (more or less)
