I deleted 50k karma worth of posts and comments and my account when it occurred to me that they're charging these API fees to essentially make money off content that I - and others like me - made. Screw that. I'll take my two cents elsewhere, thank you. It's pretty exciting to be part of something relatively new as well. There are already Lemmy reproductions of some of my favorite subreddits, and despite being significantly smaller, there's much less meta to slog through. People are talking about the things that made them passionate about those subjects to begin with again, rather than some obscure piece of memery that has taken over the entire community.
