I haven't used reddit for like 4 days which probably hasn't happened since I signed up. I'm planning on staying here. The reddit of today isn't like it was in 2011, it's exploded in popularity. If the vast majority people truly cared about poor social media business practices ~~Facebook~~ Meta wouldn't be around.

I never expected the blackout to kill reddit or even for them backout of the API changes (especially after the spez AMA). But I will say I'm surprised at the influx of people to lemmy, I started on lemmy 5 days ago and even since then there's been an explosion of content and discussion which has made it a viable alternative for me.

I was a huge lurker on reddit because it seemed like my voice would never be heard or that it was probably already said. I'm trying to break that on lemmy and I encourage everyone else to as well.
