Yes. I plan on using lemmy over reddit from now on. There are enough similar communities here. I'll have to keep using reddit if i'm searching for something and it comes up, but i don't plan on actively using reddit anymore. They showed their true colours: a company's whole business model built around collecting and displaying user content and then has the nerve to pull that they did on 3rd party developers?
They didn't want app competition because they needed to serve ads in their app.
Exactly, greed is a turnoff and ads are a bigger turnoff. I don't mind ads if they're necessary to keep developers working and prosperous, but serving Steve Huffman's bottom line isn't what I'm looking for. Lenny can have my dozens of clicks each day.
