for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

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.

Reddit hasn’t really been the same for a long time anyways.

This is true. But what we're losing isn't Reddit in its current form. But the history. I was looking at my saved posts. Just remembering why I saved them over the years. Some became Redditlore. Others are stories, poems, artworks that meant so much to me at that given time of my life. I'm thinking about deleting my account, and these will all be gone. I might download them, but realistically, I will not go back to and look through them as I would now. It is not just saying goodbye to Reddit but a small/big part of many people's lives.
