The more time I spend on lemmy, the less I'm missing reddit.
Lemmy feels fresher, more positive, and faster. It's a bit rough around the edges, but things will only improve, and there seems to be a large number of people willing to get involved and help out.
Even if the current blackout amounted to nothing, at least Lemmy has had a boost in users and engagement. Lemmy and the fediverse will learn lessons, improve, and fix bugs, and will be here for the next time reddit fucks up, and gain even more users.
I think I'll be staying regardless, reddit has been pissing me off for the last couple of years. It was mainly the lack of a viable alternative that kept me there.
Sp*z has fucked up badly this time. And he will continue to fuck up.
Exactly, the reddit addiction is hard to break but lemmy slides right into that craving nicely.
And this is just the beginning.
