I miss reddit every day. The niche communities were large enough there to have content.

I said I'd leave at the end of June if they went through with the API changes bc and I did. But of they reversed course today I'd absolutely go back instantly.

The good news is now you get to help establish those communities you once loved

Nah, for me Reddit made me understand centralization in exchange for niche communities isn’t worth the trade offs that vom with it. I’d rather start new communities on Lemmy than going back to Reddit. I do miss r/rimjobsteve though

This whole reddit thing has made me want more FOSS in my life in general.

Not that I didn't understand monopolies to begin with, but Reddit and Unity and Twitter and Google searches with 25 useless SEO AI-articles that explain nothing and ads and ads and ads and ads and ads; it's just gotten exhausting.
