Good -- I hope they do. But more than that, I hope that the userbase doesn't return.
I don't care if they choose kbin/Lemmy/Squabbles(?)/Pr0nhub Comment section/Whatever or a combination of those things -- but I hope they don't return to Reddit.
This is an exciting new opportunity for the internet, imo. Why rely on a single point of failure?
Hey, I'm down for PornHubeddit!

With replies like this, I don't need Reddit anymore!
I was kind of hoping for a brief return between tomorrow and the end of the month for one last binge and so my old subs could share what platform they'd moved to. But so be it. This was going to happen eventually.
Same. I probably still will, just for that closure, wherever available, but once Apollo is dead, I'm out.
came here to say that,
At this point I hope this blackout stays in place until they reverse their decisions on everything and fire spez. If not I'm done with Reddit for good.
Kbin seems more than sufficient as a replacement to me.
The only things I'm missing on kbin are all features of Apollo, not Reddit, so there's literally ZERO reason for me to go back.
Kbin is a little slow though, but hopefully with time they could work on that
I'm sure it's just a massive influx of lurkers (and some users) along with not great server infra right now, but I'm dealing with 30s page loads and constant Cloudflare token refreshes. Still better than reddit.
It's seen such a massive influx of traffic lately without the servers to effectively support it. It'll improve (I hope.) I already like it better here. Fuck reddit.
It the fediverse so it can be all of those, some of those, one of those or whatever! Right? Am I getting it yet? I'm never going back to reddit.
If only squabbles implemented activitypub so it could federate with lemmy and kbin... (It doesn't look like it does)
I am actively experimenting with both. First post here! I find lemmy/kbin has a huge potential, but bloated initial experience. (Was cloud flare really necessary?). While squabbles is light and easy to get into, but less overall potential.
I signed up for squabbles but was turned off before I even started testing it when I saw all the botspam in r/RedditAlternatives.
