some of us exited, and are observing the madness while sitting comfy at lemmy. when the api stuff started, i was really stressed out about not having a place to call home. and now that i do, i need to buy more popcorn.
Same here. I was surprised how sad/bittersweet it felt to stop using reddit. Like parting ways with an old friend. I check back occasionally, and it’s been pretty reassuring to see how much lemmy’s content quality and quantity has increased, just as much as reddit’s has decreased, since July.
I went over there for a little bit a couple days ago and it looks like business as usual in the comment sections, but the vibe was way off. Felt like I needed a shower after being there
Exactly! It just feels dirty or nasty now… I know it’s been that way for a long time, but now that I know of an alternative that isn’t like that, its super obvious now.
That’s the part that really puts the cherry on top, for me. It’s one thing if your CEO is acting on his own rectally generated ideas, but in this case, it’s not even his own rectum.
(And don’t ask why I am putting cherries on my popcorn. I just like cherries, ok?)

They where inspired by another ship on fire! Nobody can help them.

Cruising in a sardine boat
Loaded up with crazy people
We could be the Santa Maria
Looking for a brave new world
Great explanation of this feeling.
Bittersweet, knowing how it started.
