For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I had been getting sick of the direction reddit has headed for the past couple years and have been looking for alternatives. I discovered lemmy at basically the perfect time. So I guess I'm not too heartbroken mostly because I've been frustrated with the platform for quite a while.

I figured the Reddit exodus would happen about 5 years ago, but every similar site that cropped up either petered out or went into a fascist hellhole. Let's hope Lemmy holds up and grows.
