It reminds me of when I first found Reddit back in the day, and just how not user friendly it was. I'm looking at the blackout like a good thing - I've got a little bit of that "excitement" back from finding and exploring these new places.
Doomscroller here chiming in to say I couldn’t agree more.
This is just about the only thing I use Reddit for anymore.
As sad as I am to see it go, I'm excited to be a part of what's next!
I certainly don't think Reddit is going away forever, but I do think it will push a lot of the OG users out for sure. I just deleted my 10 yr. old account tonight and am just finding out about Lemmy.
Couldn’t agree more with you OP. As someone who often got discouraged from posting on Reddit, I’ve been making an effort to post more here and all the responses have been great. I think it helps that we’re all new here and all on this weird journey together. That being said, I’m so happy to be here with all of you!
