Hopefully there's another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.
It's a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people's preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It's a great opportunity for all the alternatives.
For me it's simple: no sync, no reddit.
I'm never going to use their app.
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
Wait, what? First I'm hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.
Of course, if you wanted a name that was always taken you could just join another federated site. For example, you're FloridaMan@kbin.social but there could also be a FloridaMan@lemmy.world, etc.
I'm still learning how this works. Thank you
Too bad we don't get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)
The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it's so slow and there's so much ad there.
