for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

No. I first joined Digg and Reddit around the same time, but I rapidly came to the conclusion that Reddit was the right choice for me. I just loved Reddit's simpler and less cluttered interfaced, and the smaller (at the time) communities. Then, one day, proper Reddit became 'old' reddit, and it became clear that the end was coming. I started my search for an alternative almost immediately and now, finally, I found one. So, no, I am not heartbroken. To me, Reddit has been dying for years. And honestly, even if reddit survives, I do not want to go back. The feddiverse is a much better proposition, it is the way forward.
