I'm quite surprised with the neutral to positive reactions, which also show that some people will probably never leave Reddit.

I vowed to be done with it when it became subscription based, and now here I am. Kind of glad actually, been looking for an excuse for years as the site became more and more stale, unoriginal, and politics began to overwhelm everything. Maybe this is just how it has to be every decade or so.

Don't kid yourself there's A LOT of Reddit here on Lemmy.

I mean, given that the user base here was mostly looking for an alternative to Reddit, that makes sense.

I think I was hoping that some of the users that gave Reddit its grimy reputation would have stayed there. But that's probably a little too pie in the sky.
