I haven't been back to Reddit since the first day of protests.
Not gonna lie though, I miss it. The niche stuff I went to Reddit for in the first place came here during the drama, but despite an initial push to get some replacement communities going here, they've gone almost completely inactive now.
Lemmy has been a decent replacement for /r/all browsing, but it's not at all a replacement for most of the subreddits I was actually subscribed to
I can't believe how the mods caved. They could have taken their balls and gone home and Reddit would have felt it
I may have missed some steps but I recall reddit removing and replacing mods of many subs.
It doesn't matter, because the damage is done. Small communities aren't what they used to be and the big subreddits are even lower quality.
R/ASOIAF knew about Lemmy and debated internally whether to migrate. I honestly can't believe they didn't. They were among the more passionate holdouts
They could have just made a post after setting up a lemmy community and people would have made the move
Also, can mods not delete subreddits? I'm surprised this didn't happen
Yep. I really wish more had migrated over here from Reddit. Seems like it's almost business as usual over there according to my friend who still uses it frequently.
I am trying to get the Pokemon instance talkative again but I'm just one woman
I could join up and everyone could laugh at me because I know almost nothing about Pokemon.
Eh we could use a laugh, sides the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step... Come with us and catch em all
I miss TAZCirclejerk and Eyeblech the most.
