The two day blackout was what finally got me to actually look into the fediverse, figure out servers and whatnot, and make an account to try it out. I've been meaning to look into it for a while, but the blackout was the push I needed. I'm sure I'm not alone. I'm far more interested in exploring this exciting new space then I am going back to the garbage filled Reddit, even if they miraculously back down on the API changes .

My reddit account was over 10 years old. This is my first comment on Lemmy/Fediverse.

I will stay here. Did not have this feeling of internet independence for a very long time. I'm done with Reddit.

I don't plan on it. RIF was my main way of browsing Reddit so once that goes, that's pretty much me done. I'll probably still peruse sysadmin for work purposes, but my Reddit time will become Lemmy time.

I am in a transition period where I still keep Apollo installed, and trying to find enough communities here in order to be somewhat ready for the July 🙈

I have deleted nearly 10 years worth of content and account already. Those leaving should do the same.

I'm more or less getting what I wanted out of reddit out of lemmy already. There are a few teething pains, but overall it reminds me of the nice little community we had at reddit in 2007. It got better and better until about 2012 after the big digg migration where it started to peak and devolve. I would love to relive those first 5 years here again. I don't miss reddit at all.

I know I won't!

I'm just gonna browse both for a while I guess. I know I'm not downloading the official app on my phone though
