It left such a bad taste in my mouth realizing that they were absolutely just going to let people get their rage out, and then rely on the good ole human nature of just going with the flow. I mean realistically, once you have the momentum of a site like Reddit, you can do some pretty shitty stuff, and not get canned for it. I'm fairly certain they're just going to rely on that, and then make money on what's left after that.
I'll probably still keep using old.reddit.com, but making an account on Lemmy has like 0 opportunity cost, so why not right?
Excellent post! I know I can't switch from Reddit all at once, I was kind of booted off a few hours ago once my app stopped connecting. I anticipate it'll be a lot of fun exploring new communities here. There was a bit of a routine to checking my default subs in Reddit, being forced to change things up might help to expand my interests.
