It has been almost two years I’ve been on this wonderful platform (Lemmy) and I kept my reddit account so that when people complain on reddit about oppressive mods, I direct them to Lemmy. I have gotten atleast ten or fifteen people over to Lemmy since. People who don’t like all the strict rules and Authoritarianism on there.
When I deleted my reddit comments, I kept my accounts alive so I could promote Lemmy. But surprisingly, I had zero interest in going back to reddit even for that.
Even now when I don’t care about the API thing any more, I’m like: why would I go to that enshittified hellhole and create data for them? A couple weeks ago I forced myself to go there looking for memes, but there was very little quality content, so I feel I’m not missing much.
