When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.

Now that it’s starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?

    14 years, 17 accounts, ~2000000 karma. Nuked everything: deleted comments and submissions, de-modded myself, unsubbed from everything, gilded various protest content using the coins I’d been given over the years, bought a cool Apollo app t-shirt, walked out and walked away. Nope, don’t miss it; I’m exploring kbin and tildes, and getting my meme content from imgur. Which is ironic in a way, because the sole reason imgur was created was because reddit refused to allow native images.

    Are you having regrets? It’s okay to have regrets.

        Always weird to read comments like this while on Kbin. Kbin is another “threadiverse” instance. Like Lemmy or whatever.

          Yeah, it becomes so second nature that I’m on kbin that it’s a weird kind of dissonance, like someone asking what’s Reddit on Reddit.

        Kbin is a part of the Fediverse and is similar to Lemmy. I have a kbin.social account and am replying to you from kbin. (I subscribe to a lot of Lemmy communities via kbin).

        Tildes is not a part of the Fediverse. It is a text-driven private forum basically created and run by one person. You need an invite from a Tildes account holder to join. It’s its own little island. am on Tildes a lot and really like it.
