I'm doing my part. I hope others do an exodus and not a hiatus.

There's enough content here on lemmy to scratch my itch to scroll

For sure. I'm enjoying it, but reddit's downfall really depends on how many divest from it and can join us here. I think it'll be fine because people are coming and there will be guides to help folks navigate, but only time will tell

there will be no "downfall" and i think that attitude will make things harder for a place like this to thrive

it needs to be kinda its own thing. we need more than one place for this type of shit. Reddit is fine honestly. they are a business (maybe a shitty one) but thats the game

it just sucks that there isint another option, so when people started jumping ship i joined em.

i just dont want one mega corp to own the data on the internet as much as i can help it (which admittedly is not much) so this seemed like a real easy way to try

Downfall was definitely the wrong word to use. I want this to be impactful and make Reddit change course, but that can only happen if enough people leave.

I think the best case scenario for a place like this one here is of people stop thinking about Reddit at all.

It's kind of breaking up after a long relationship: as long as you're still thinking about what your ex is doing right now, you're not over the relationship.

I think this place will find its groove once people will have stopped comparing features, communities, apps, etc. to how things worked or looked like on Reddit, and once people will have completely stopped caring about whatever may or may not be going on over at Reddit.

I'm waiting for reddit to send me my personal data, so I can make my comments unuseable for anything, I guess they either are wise of it or there are a lot more requests than usual, but I'm done with reddit. And there is more and more big name sites i'm just... not wanting to interact with anymore.

[–] Micromot@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah same i just want to backup my stuff before getting rid of it all

[–] genuineparts@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That and I want to completely destroy my history so it hurts anyone using reddit for AI Training, just replace all my comments with markov chain nonsense
