It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...
In a way social media is a drug and most of us were addicted. At least I was on Reddit, because I liked being there. So not using it, especislly when it was kind of a habit may not be easy for many on virtue fo that alone.
Same. A lot of the communities I loved had already left so it made it worlds easier. Honestly, my first frolick with Lemmy, kbin, and mastodon really have me more excited to see what comes out of all this
Honestly, nobody even looks at other people's Karma. I didn't care much about it. Did people really care so much baout Karma that they mourn about it here, or miss it, or used to farm it?...
Karma is all about gamification. Made up points to make you feel like your contribution was worth something. You can see it in pretty much all social media platforms.
You never really care about checking others, but I bet you'd probably take a peak from time to time at your own.
I never cared, but I would be lieing if when I post blew up I wouldn't notice all those upvotes.
As we start to see more users join, it's inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed....
And they can also still see your comments after you blocked them, at least in my experience. Blocking people is not too useful right now because of that IMO.
Congrats on taking the step. I axed my 12-year old account at the start of all this. I've had moments where I doubted that decision, sure, but the fediverse does seem to be growing. There's more and more activity every day.
Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation....
Haven't touched reddit since July 1st (kbin.fedi.cr) en

Welp, I just deleted my 12 year old, 240k+ karma Reddit account (kbin.social) en
I was sort of holding on to hope, that something would change. Unfortunately, nothing did and so, here I am....
Fuck Reddit u̶p̶v̶o̶t̶e̶ boost party! (kbin.social) en
The apps have all gone offline, welcome aboard to all the other refugees, fuck /u/spez!
Apollo seems to have been shut down (kbin.fedi.cr)
Both of my devices can’t launch the app anymore. Looks like its the end of an era boys and girls
Reddit seems to be speedrunning 'self-destruct and devalue IPO'. What would be Reddit's next worst steps? (kbin.fedi.cr)
