If Reddit were to revert it's changes to 3rd party apps would you stay on Lemmy or move back to Reddit?

I'm not going back, epescially since Apollo will be shutting down. I'm looking forward to what the dev can do with the Mlem iOS app, and I'm very interested in the community that is being built here.

People would go back.

Been on reddit since 2010 and over the years I've gotten less and less interested and the only subs I still had interest in were the niche fashion communities.

I'm gonna be the change I want to see and created the lemmy community for one of my favorite brands (Supreme) and over time other ones will fill out the space. I'm also gonna join a patreon discord for better fashion discussion than the reddit subs anyway and was something I'd been wanting to do anyway before the recent events.

With those as a replacement I should be fine. I'm also way more excited about investing into an exciting new community with lemmy that reminds me of the early reddit days. Reddit will only continue to get worse as it gets more corporate and terrible in the same way Facebook and other platforms went downhill over the years. Lemmy is on the come up

I'd stay on Reddit as long as there was content on Reddit ... But I would keep posting and commenting on Lemmy. I'd rather see the fediverse grow.

Iโ€™ll stay here, the decentralized concept makes so much more sense for this kind of application

[โ€“] WreckingBANG@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I would probably stay here. I deleted my Account on Reddit and i do not forgive spez for the decission he has done.

[โ€“] MaryAnna@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

tbh, unless it's something very specific or like tech support, I'm probably not going back to Reddit. I'm already starting to get used to Lemmy, and I've been interacting more on here, in the last few days then I have in all my years at Reddit.

[โ€“] Nitsua116@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Most likely not. I have a smallish subreddit I made over there that I will bring here, and once I have given enough notice and maybe posted some of the better all time posts from it... delete the sub and my account.

I plan on sticking to lemmy and only using reddit on the pc for specific things that I can't find here for the time being

Base on my couple hours of experience, nope, I don't need that huge amount of unrelated content that I am not interested in. It does take sometime to customize and filter lemmy but it would be the same like early reddit anyway, won't take long to tune it to what you like.

[โ€“] 100beep@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'd probably return, at least for some things. Lemmy's not a massive community yet, and I did like some parts of Reddit. That said, I'd stay on Lemmy, post everything I put on Reddit here as well and be ready to jump ship again at a moment's notice.

[โ€“] JayWalker@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmy reminds me of early Reddit and I like that. The mask is all the way off now. Reddit was pretty fun 10+ years ago but that time has come and gone.

[โ€“] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

I'd probably use both in that case, if it's a complete reverse course. Still would probably not use reddit as much as I used to tho due to divided attention.

They've made it clear they won't. And since most subs are only going dark for a measly 48 hours they have no incentive to. It's literally like that "Oh no, anyway..." meme.

And think of it this way: even if you they revert the changes (or you just decide to please /u/spez and only use the official app) do you think the platform will continue to get better or worse? He's shown his hand it's nothing good for the mods or the users.
