Too bad we don’t get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)
Of course, if you wanted a name that was always taken you could just join another federated site. For example, you’re FloridaMan@kbin.social but there could also be a FloridaMan@lemmy.world, etc.
It’s a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people’s preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It’s a great opportunity for all the alternatives.
I started “dual using” lemmy right when the original Apollo news broke. I say “dual using” because while that was my intention, I’ve been back to Reddit exactly once, to request my information package (which has yet to be provided).
Hopefully there’s another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.
For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.
I’m never going to use their app.
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
Presumably we’ll still have account age, at least.
Is 5 low? ;) (3-digit user here; commence the Yorkshiremen sketch)

I’m still learning how this works. Thank you
Yep. The day the Boost app on my phone stops working is the day I cease visiting Reddit entirely. It’s about sending a message.
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
Wait, what? First I’m hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?
When I read that I was astonished.
He literally threw free money away… for what exactly?
Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it’s so slow and there’s so much ad there.
Definitely. No Infinity, no Reddit. Lemmy, kbin, others. Reddit can go jump. Exciting times!
Damn, nearly forgot - fuck spez.
