I’m not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all

But, when I think about it even if spez did actually listen and reverse all changes I don’t think i want to go back to Reddit cause from what Ive seen Lemmy is just friendlier and less :Be Corporate Friendly: I would honestly love it if Lemmy did a project like r/place one of these days so we could see what the internet is actually like instead of what happened in 2022 (I really did enjoy what a bunch of communities did but when the mods started abusing their powers to make it corporate r/place lost so much meaning) but i am curious since i’m not going back is there anything Reddit can do to make you go back to Reddit?

    I’m wiping my account tonight and will be doing an account delete bit right before the black outs.

    I honestly don’t think anything would get me to go back. I don’t think I’ll miss my doom scroll app. Lemmy feels much more easy to actually be apart of, and my account can interact with other fedverse stuff, heck yeah.

    The only subreddit I’m going to miss that I haven’t seen an alternative of is r/196, so I hope that pops up.

      I don’t wanna! I don’t wanna!

      But I feel like maybe I should wipe my account, too.

      I don’t have any special expertise in any category or anything but I really don’t like the idea they’ll be able to take my dead account with over the 146K combined karma and sell it to some AI jagoff startup.

      I don’t even know half of the platforms I stored my stuff on, either.

      I have a lot of fond memories that will die with my login but fuck if I’m going to unwillingly participate in the monetization and mining of all of that content!
