Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit?

I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

happyhippo,

Nope, my account is gone and so are my comments.

I'm done with reddit.

Either Lemmy takes off, or I may start reading more in my free time...

Monkeyhog,

Nope, I've already deleted all of my comments and posts on a 10+ year old account. They can go straight to hell. Fuck them.

MigratingtoLemmy,

No. I'll use RSS to lurk on subs that don't move, but this more and fragmentation has pushed me to finally try and curb my endless scrolling habits (by utilising IRC, I now only go through small bytes of content, and if I don't feel like it is important, I don't waste any more time).

do you have any more info on how to get started with this? I have no desire to go back but would love to know how to loosely lurk like that

MigratingtoLemmy,

Download any FOSS RSS client for your OS. I'm looking at:

  1. https://github.com/yang991178/fluent-reader
  2. https://github.com/hello-efficiency-inc/raven-reader
  3. https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr

I'll be switching from QuiteRSS which is not maintained anymore.

Then, find how to get rss feeds for whatever you want (Reddit, Lemmy and Youtube are fairly easy). That's all

Spez is doubling down. He's shown his hand. He's lied. It's like watching Anakin's descent to the dark side. He's too far gone.

I don't really think there is a going back. The watering hole is poisoned. There's no more good faith. And, I think for a lot people, especially people here, it's a matter of principle at this point.

I might check in on certain niche subs that don't move on to other platforms, but the days of gleefully doomsctolling are over.
