Stay! And participate less in their site, so they note the change.

I'll use both then. reddit is still unparalleled for support, simply because of its sheer size

I've wanted to leave since the old shitredditsays days, but back then there weren't any good alternatives (especially after Tumblr was acquired by Yahoo) so I stayed out of a lack of alternatives.

The blackout is just the brd finally coming to free us from the hellsite. I will never return.

I prefer the smaller crowd here. Reddit just feels like a mall these days. Between all the bullshit, tencent, ads and assholes, I’m not looking back.

Reddit showed their hand and I'm just done with all these corpos. Reddit is my last hold out and I'm slowly leaving that too. I'm moving to the decentralized FOSS future that I believe in where we the people have the power.

What kept me at reddit was the content, not the company. If the content moves here, then this is where I'll stay. If most content remains at Reddit, which would be unfortunate. Then I'd probably try to juggle both, depending on how my time goes here.

So far, it's been rather positive. I've got most of my daily dose of community conversation, but I'm missing that video streak at the moment.

The last time reddit pulled some shit, I found tildes and expanded the sites I visited regularly/ semi-regularly (and reducing how much time I spent on reddit). Reddit reverting the latest changes will only minimize the damage on my end, as I'll be spending time here that I could otherwise be spending over there.

This stunt reduced the already diminished trust I have for reddit. Having migrated to reddit due to the digg v4 fiasco, over the years, reddit's decisions have been like digg v4 in slow motion. Each fuckup just causes me to further reduce the amount of time I spend using the site. One of these days, they'll cross too many of my red lines, and reddit will become completely useless to me.

I would half move back. There are a lot of niche subs that I can't find here, like r/NonCredibleDiplomacy. But I would still use Lemmy, it is more homey.

I think I'm on Lemmy for the long haul - I like the fediverse decentralisation. The hardest part of Reddit to abandon will be the search results on Google, but perhaps we'll see something similar with Lemmy in a few years if it picks up steam.

I honestly think most people would go back just out of habit. Even if they don’t go back, once things calm down. I’d absolutely love people to move to fedi, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.

I would stay on both. Keep reddit just for the more specific subreddits I like that aren't big here.

What if your SO stops beating you?

Personally I doubt I'll delete my account on Reddit. But as someone who will cling to old.reddit.com and adguard to the bitter end, I'll happily let my gather dust unless there's a support question or something for a community that hasn't taken off here.

Keeping Reddit as a backup will at least being me some productivity back. I'm supposed to be a writer, I would probably down more times actually doing that anyway.

I’ve been looking for an alternative for a while now, and am quite sure I’ve found it.

Nothing could convince me to go back, we need decentralization.

It'd be a mix of both for me. I like what I'm seeing on lemmy, but reddit is enrimous and users won't flock here in the same numbers if reddit does an about face.

And then what? They'll magically stop having to make money for their investors?

Reddit isn't getting enshittified for shits and giggles. They're being forced to make money. That requires enshittification.

Reddit is doing a tumblr so I don't think is gonna recover that easy. Reddit is not gonna allow NSFW subs to be seen outside of the official app, who the hell watches porn from the official app? So many people is gonna drop it.

I think is still gonna survive IF subs like askreddit, amitheasshole or entitledparents are still up and have a lot of people posting, because they so many YT channels read from those (and I hear them daily as podcasts) but if the mayor subs go dark or shutdown is not gonna affect reddit only, but also so many people who works reading those.

I probably won't permanently boycott them if they revert, but won't leave here either.

I'll stay on Lemmy, I came here a week ago and since then I put effort into being involved in lemmy communities with the specific purpose of not missing reddit anymore.

You know what? It's working :D

At this point I don't care anymore about what they do, I wasn't very satisfied of reddit lately, save for a handful of really nice communities, I'm not even angry about it anymore, that says a lot IMO.

No. I'm done. The admins had their chance to address the developers and community concerns respectfully. They instead chose to insult people, make false accusations and demonstrated a complete lack of humility and respect for the community that made their website have any value at all.

Not that I expect them to reverse course on anything, but I won't be coming back under any circumstances.

I’ll be staying no matter if Reddit reverses their decision. The communities I’d like to follow might be smaller here, but I’m sure they will grow.

I've been wanting to leave for a long time anyways. At this point I probably wouldn't go back regularly even if they did, but maybe once in awhile
