Wiped and deleted. I'm putting down roots.

I became a Redditor during the Digg exodus... Now I'll become a Lemming during the Reddit exodus.

In the short term I'll probably still be on both, but in the long run I am probably not going to stick around on reddit with the progressively shitty decisions being made.

Lemmy is promising, and I'm here to stay. I haven't nuked my account on Reddit yet. But as others have said, I don't plan on posting much there anymore. Unfortunately, I'm going to be slightly tethered to wherever the smaller, more niche communities that I like end up.

Now that I've managed to hook up Mastadon to here and pull tweets from twitter, I think i'm pretty firmly here rather than there. There's one community I'll be sad to not interact with on the regular, but I'll manage.

I'm here for good. Yes it will take some time to get the lay of the land but, I'm already confident this will become a much better home for me.

I'll stay. I've been looking for a reason to move off reddit for a long time. But there didn't seem to be a non political based exodus, until now. The TD stuff and voat seemed too political charged and only people of a certain political leaning left. As a result voat and the others were just all about American politics. This feels much more across the board, and so far I'm loving the Lemmy community.

Deleted my accounts and all post/comment history as well. I'm fully Lemmy only now.

I'm definitely staying. I know there's gonna be a dip in users, I just hope enough stay that we can build communities.

I would really like to stay here, but I mostly used reddit on my phone and I've found the mobile experience so underwhelming that I have already given up on it. The MLem app crashes on me after ~60 seconds every time I try to use it, too.

If we could entice the developer of Apollo or RIF or Sync or any of the big platforms to make a really slick app for Lemmy, I might never go back to Reddit.

I tried lemmy a little, there's not much content yet. It really depends on if the major power users migrate to lemmy, and on which instance they will migrate. The other problem being that I have yet to find a good mobile app to access the lemmy instances, and I'm too lazy to make my own (though it would be a good side hustle in my opinion).

There wasn't much to Reddit when it first started. Users built it over the years, including myself. I'd love to see Lemmy do the same, but it'll take work and commitment. Should it happen to become as large, I do wonder if it will eventually face the same woes as Reddit.

I'll stick around in both reddit and lemmy until enough communities move over here or reddit just dies.

I've been a Redditor for 12+ years, but I will definitely keep hanging out here and I'll keep being active. The community here right now reminds me a lot of the good things of early Reddit, and I like that.

I'm not using reddit again unless to lurk some info here and there if it is needed to find information I couldn't find on lemmy. I won't participate in the Reddit community anymore even if reddit is backing down. The federated philosophy is just much more alligned with my values. If anything, this whole blackout situation accelerated my innevitable switch.
