Hopefully there's another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.

For me it's simple: no sync, no reddit.

I'm never going to use their app.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it's so slow and there's so much ad there.

Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

[–] Katharta@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. The day the Boost app on my phone stops working is the day I cease visiting Reddit entirely. It's about sending a message.

rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.

It's a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people's preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It's a great opportunity for all the alternatives.
