…how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I’m definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

    Staying here. Rediscovered what I liked about Reddit in the earlier days - actually engaging. I don’t think I’ve commented, posted, or even upvoted on reddit in like a year. It just seemed pointless and it was just a scroll and read machine. This is much more fun

      This is exactly it. Beyond a couple very niche subs, I felt no desire to interact at all. It had turned into howling into the void of bots and memes. This feels like legitimate engagement with actual humans…or passable facsimiles.

        I’ll take ‘passable fascimile’ as a compliment! The real niche subs are hard to reproduce. I started a Nebula one, but that subreddit was only ~5k ppl with comment threads maybe 100 long, so probably will be hard to reproduce here
