    I feel like I was already heavily in the camp of moving on to Lemmy over reddit. But this is so bad on reddit’s end. Their last chance for any shred of dignity is gone. I will never go back to reddit

    I think Reddit hasn’t quite caught on to the fact yet that they’ve pissed off their power user / poster community. The number of comments may have stayed the same but sooner or later the quality of posts will go down.

      I’ve actually managed since last Thursday to not click the app at all. It’s been freeing, there are a few hiccups, but if I’ve made it this long, I don’t see myself ever going back.

    Of course the right wing prepper nutjob goes full authoritian on this and just replace people who are against his policies. People can’t move over from Reddit soon enough.
