It’s funny for about 10 minutes, then you realize it’s all John Oliver posts, and it might as well be a private sun again. It’s working. Lots of my subs are also paralyzed by reddit news and spez being an asshole, so there’s not top much going on for my subs, save for a select few, like some gardening ones. Haven’t found a replacement yet for those :(
yeah same I went cold turkey off reddit for like 24 hours before I realised not going there was a big improvement. Real shame as once upon a time it was a great place to get unique perspectives on interesting issues. Will be missed.
Well the people providing unique perspectives to issues have probably moved. So we move with them. It’s not, like, reddit the platform was the one providing those perspectives.
I’ve been going over and upvoting all this shit I can before my Joey app stops working. I am easily amused, “Well that sucks” has had me laughing every time it pops up.
ngl, all this makes me want to go back to reddit

Oh man there are tons of gardening communities on Lemmy, I saw them!

Same, but I refuse to give them my traffic.

And specifically this is the way that Reddit will stagnate and die.
By pissing off it’s contributors and its whole community and them just cutting their losses and moving on.
I had a similar experience; Moved to Lemmy cold turkey and have only looked back to laugh
