    I’m moving here permanently and never looking back, but I’m leaving my accounts because that’s 11 years worth of comments that someone may find useful in the future. I hate the idea of losing all the good comments and discussions that have taken place over the years but I understand why people wish to delete their stuff regardless.

    tbh, it still sucks here lol, but i’m open to the plan on staying here as well as reddit if Lemmy can at least improve to be comparable to Reddit.

    I like to think I won’t go back to reddit but force of habit is hard to break even with an excellent alternative!

      Yeah I’m in the same boat. I keep finding myself opening reddit just out of habit. I don’t think I’m going to delete my account but I am trying to do a better job of checking out the alternatives (and actually posting instead of just lurking…)

    I didn’t make a lot of posts or comments on Reddit, but I did spend a lot of time on that site. If I still use the site once the dust settles, it will only be for a few niche subreddits that I was a part of.

    Reddit is damaged goods as far as I’m concerned and It’s clear that the people in charge don’t give a shit about the community. I will miss certain content and interactions, but I’ve walked away from other communities in the past and have adjusted quickly.

    I like the idea of Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon and the fediverse. It’s clear that they aren’t ready for the current influx of users and there has already been some drama between different instances, but I’m willing to work through the growing pains. The whole vibe around Lemmy is generally positive, and that is what’s keeping me around for now.

    Moving here for the foreseeable future, but don’t think I’ll be deleting my reddit account. Just like the gaslit partner in a toxic relationship. I am hoping reddit becomes better. Until then, I am moving here to reevaluate.

    Also I cannot live without my patient gamers subreddit and my nosleep subreddit

    I don’t see myself leaving Lemmy anytime soon. It’s like being in an exclusive club. You don’t want go to back to the that filthy club where the bouncers are pricks.

    I’m going to stick around here. I’m not letting the official reddit app anywhere near my phone.
