    A lot of people have already left Reddit Fuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.

    And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what’s going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.

    In short, it’s unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.

    The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don’t think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.

    I’m excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I’m really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.

    Apollo refugee checking in, currently trying out WefWef.app. I’ve also been trying out Memmy over the past couple of weeks. Not sure which one I’ll end up sticking with yet.

    I really don’t understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They’ve made it clear with their words and actions that they don’t give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who’ve decided to abandon the ship and join us here.

      People are desensitized.

      Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.

      Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.

      Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.

        Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.

        I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.

        Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.

          “But companies must make profits! It’s what they are for!”

          It’s disgusting. As if corporations technically being soulless, justifies them behaving in the exact way that implies they would, and do.

    Boost for reddit isn’t off yet but it’s just a matter of time. Setup this account today and downloaded jerboa. Trying to figure everything out but hopefully this isn’t an echo chamber like reddit is.
