They're gonna shut down old reddit or make it a premium feature aren't they?
Day they do that is the day I never go back to Reddit.
That day should've come and gone my friend. Actively avoid it!
I would love to be 100% Lemmy but there's still a lot more users and discussions on Reddit. It's getting better, but it's not yet at critical mass for me
I don't visit Reddit out of principle. I don't care that there are more discussions and more fun content and game dev updates and stuff there that I'm missing. I mourn the loss, but I will never go back and visit Reddit. Mustn't give them traffic.
I don't blame you. I'm not quite at that point yet, but I'm not far off.
If they kill or nerf Old Reddit I'll probably be done.
Understandable. It's a big step to take.
It's liberating though. Like a recovering alcoholic able to say they are sober without relapsing. 😄
I don't have a problem! I can stop whenever I want! :P
Thing is- I don't use reddit for 'scrolling', mainly for participation in various discussions. That makes it a lot harder to replace...
