dang same I'm way more engaged here and I spend less time it's a huge win win and it just feels healthier
I love reading and writing, replying and interacting. The quality of discourse around here has been excellent so far, the right kind of people have migrated here.
Fully granted that there are many topics in which I'd love to see more activity, but the space is young. Neither Rome nor Reddit were built in a day.
Also, a way to keep track of conversations, an unobtrusive notification and a direct link to the spot in any given thread.
I agree. I check it out to kill a few minutes, feels much healthier.
This platform is infinitely more healthy and feels much more like old reddit to me. New reddit is like anonymous Facebook and I have no use for that.
Right? I think I've downvoted a grand total of a half-dozen comments here in the last month. On Reddit, I'd be handing those things out like candy.

Yeah much happier here, feels like a new home
This is how I feel. My usage feels more meaningful than it was on Reddit.
Honestly, at this point I don't see any coming back from this. It's been a damned good effort, but Reddit isn't going to back down at this point. The mods are going to have to put up with it or leave. I'd hope they'd leave, but honestly I don't think there's going to be a mass exodus of moderators.
But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised
Yeah to say that these requests will fall on deaf ears would be an understatement. If Reddit has shown us anything throughout this debacle it’s that they will always do the wrong thing.
That ship has sailed, both ways I'm afraid.
Not only reddit made it exceedingly clear that they aren't backtracking, 3rd party developers equally clearly stated they are out.
I don't see this situation reversing.
Well, the Apollo dev sounded, from the second-hand stuff I've read, to be out. I'm not sure that all of them necessarily are out.
I don't have really high hopes for a reversal, though, agree with you there.
I know rif is shutting down after June 30, and Sync will be redirecting people to Sync for Lemmy. A few others are going subscription-only, though none I used, so I'm not sure offhand which/how many.
Either way, it's a lot of changes all around.
Good to see that 'we'll be in touch' quote being printed at the end of every article.
I know, it was deliciously scathing. This kind of integrity is how you get new readers, I think. Wonder what things would have been like had spez attended that day of kindergarten
Yeah, nah, bro. Why would I get back into an abusive relationship?
One does not simply unjump the shark
The fact that I'm commenting on a post is something I would never of done on reddit means kbin is my new home. I've nuked my 15yr old account and there's no reason to go back.
Good luck getting anything useful out of Lemur-Boy.
One thing about open letters is they almost never accomplish anything. It seems Reddit is digging hooves into the turf on this thing. If they were going to budge, I think they'd be doing it about now. There's only a few days left before the lights go out.
I agree and even if they revert the changes some people just won't go back. They did so much more damage to their reputation since the original issue of API changes.
Reddit won't die as some ignorant people hoped for, but enough people migrated to create something new.
So far I've been getting my fill of content so I'm fine here. Not missing the old haunt much.
I don't really care what happens to Reddit one way or the other, but it's rather amusing drama, good guys us, bud guys them. I'm interested to see what happens after the deadline.
I'm thrilled the blackout jump started interest in the Fediverse. I hope enough people stick around, I don't want to go back to reddit, I like it here.
I gotta be honest, Kbin/Lemmy has done a much better job of satisfying those cravings than Mastodon.
It doesn't have to die all of a sudden; once it becomes obvious that it's peaked, nobody will be willing to underwrite them losing money anymore and they'll go through progressive rounds of layoffs and shittier monetization strategies until there's nobody left.
That I can see. Will be interesting to see how much of a hit to their IPO this was.
Best of luck to them.
I highly doubt Reddit is going to bend on this. They want those third-party apps gone, and that ridiculous pricing is how they’re doing it. They also think that they’ve won. They don’t have any incentive to change.
Nice to see this getting the press coverage that it deserves.
Jay Peters was very objective on this, so much so that Reddit started to refuse to answer his questions when asked for comment.
I was watching the Vergecast podcast yesterday, and Reddit has basically ghosted Verge for any comment on their part.
They said that they'd "Correct them when they need to be corrected." Otherwise the only people Verge is talking to are users and moderators.
Reddit staying classy as ever there. /s
Why would any third party dev want to return after Reddit so thoroughly killed any trust they have?
This is the worst idea
No thanks. I'm good.
So what happens if Reddit doesn't comply to their requests?
Last time mods did a protest by making subreddits private, Reddit threatened to kick them out of moderation at that made most mods just shut up and comply.
Now mods have absolutely no leverage against the admins. I don't sympathize with Reddit, but I lost all sympathy for mods too. They should simply do what we all did, and hop off Reddit for once. Sadly, they care more about their "mod powers" than anything else.
I think some just take a bit longer to leave the communities b they build behind and still try to fix reddit. there will probably be a longer exodus of mods when they realise after July 1st that their communities aren't the same they used to.
of course there will always be bootlickers as well.
Nah those mods are probably scared that they are still on Reddit and don't have any power in kbin.
But they would if they start a community/magazine here too
Most large m are already open by other people
They are not that large yet if other mods had enough moment they could open realinterestingAF or find an instance to start their own @interesting.af/interestingasfuck
