As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting, less frequent but still. Thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.

I can't stand the modern design on both sites.

I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.

But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)...with how they treated us and will continue to?

My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I'm far happier here now.

I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it's less fun.

I find it hard to leave reddit all together just because of the historical knowledge and the actual presence of niche communities. I wish people wouldnt flip out about choosing a server when signing up for lemmy. They act like you have to have a computer science degree to make the switch.
