Public seppuku of all management, starting with spez. The old-fashioned way, without a second. If you know what I mean.

Tbh, if they undid the api change, and also stopped banning communities left and right, id consider it. Atm, lemmy seems like its becoming a farleft monoculture and that is one aspect where it is worse then reddit

At this point, me run out of alternatives worth trying. Just signed up for a lemmy instance today, and liking what I'm seeing so far (even if communities are quite a lot smaller than I'm used to at the moment), but there are other sites that might scratch the reddit itch that I'll try even if the fediverse stuff doesn't take off. Reddit has shown that that they're a) greedy, and b) incompetent at being greedy. And I'm not going to contribute to them again until I'm well and truly out of other options.

Frankly, right now I'm mostly doing this to spite Reddit. I'll probably use both interchangably later, for the smaller subs that won't suffer much.

Honestly the best thing for Lemmy would be if Reddit did completely reverse this decision and retain it's users. Then, Lemmy would remain relatively small and act as a much better internet community. If Reddit loses a large portion of it's users to Lemmy (to be fair, I am one of these people), then eventually Lemmy will become a festering wound as well. I mean, when Reddit was young it felt just like Lemmy does today, and none of us at that time could have ever expected it to end up this way.

Apollo to continue going. That’s it.

I would say give the third party apps a chance but after that AMA I can see the creators never really cared. Maybe new management but it would be highly unlikely. When I get treated like crap there is no reason to stick around that negativity!

The problem with (so called) Reddit protest is their decision won't change. All subreddits should protest UNTIL demands are met. Locking the subreddits on 48h won't do them any harm, but locking for an extended period of time might.

Well, I've been wanting to find a new forum for a while. Reddit no longer resembles what I joined back in the days.

This was just the kick in booty I needed to get on with it. And a ton of alternatives has been laid out before me, so might as well go check some of them out.

Edit: So there's very little chance of me returning.

Fuck Reddit.

@Arystique Invest in and preserve Imgur

I agree with most of the other posters, I'm done with reddit. I want the community but I don't want the corporation. It's not that I find admins who run lemmy instances more trustworthy by default, but the decentralized nature make me think it can be more resilient and altogether a better experience.

Boy do I wish we had RIF for lemmy though 😞

Work with multiple 3rd party app devs right now to ensure a future for their respective apps.

Nothing. I deleted my account already. It was a spit in the face of the third party developers. The official Reddit app is trash. They were lucky to have those third party apps. Cash grab because of the incoming recession. Meanwhile you're whole platform is based on user generated content. What a joke.

I think the only way is if Reddit becomes the only active option. I'm a bit too addicted to these anonymous social medias... and it's a nice source to have the internet summarised at your palm.

I might keep it it in my back pocket for breaking world news like I did with Twitter if I could still use a 3rd party app but I won't be busting down the door.

It's still useful in that it has a massive user base that can get information out quickly.

Highly unlikely they’d ever be able to rebuild that bridge but it would start with turning back the API decision. Then hiring Christian from Apollo to help them with building a better app. A significant amount of the leadership stepping down and leaving. Mods getting paid. Transitioning to a platform not reliant on ads. Getting Victoria of AMA fame back. Having mods be an elected position.

If all that happened maybe I’d think they turned into something worth coming back to.

I left other social medias because of the spam, reddit was a more focused place for me with few updates of important stuff.

Lemmy seems like what I was originally attracted to reddit, specially since I'm interested in more technical stuff I'm sure the subs I usually go to are going to thrive here like this one and also !privacyguides@lemmy.one.
