Hi all! What’s your opinion? Let’s pretend reddit would give in to the protest and cancel the plan to increase the API pricing. Would all of you go back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy?

I mean… what has been said by the CEO cannot be unsaid now. We all now know what we are in the eyes of the CEO.

    I’m sticking with Lemmy because it’s picking up all the people smart enough to figure out how to use Lemmy, leaving all the morons that were making Reddit shit to begin with on Reddit. Huge win for my sanity.

    I won’t go back. This is the final step in a long journey of enshittification - the Conde Nast sale, proliferation of power mods, the new UI redesign, subreddit ban waves, the Ellen Pao and Aimee Knight incidents etc.

    I wouldn’t go back to reddit as a poster/commentator if they reversed their decision. But rather I would continue to use it as a resource, as I usually find typing in “<query> reddit” into Google to be far more useful and time saving than sifting through irrelevant search results and clickbait news articles for a simple question.

    I tried migrating when voat got popular and for awhile I used both. Voat started attracting worse and worse people though so eventually I left.

    I would probably use both and hopefully Lemmy can avoid voats fate.

      Wasn’t the main selling point of voat the “free speech” angle? It would make sense that it would attract people whose speech got them banned from other social media.

      The Fediverse’s selling point is “not run by corporate greed-heads,” which is going to attract a different demographic.

    If they gave in on day one or two, I may have stuck around.

    But as it stands, a week without Reddit has effectively broken my addiction. I’ve already uninstalled Sync from my phone, deleted my comments, and I only see Reddit pages when they show up as relevant search results.

    So they could reverse direction tomorrow and I would be indifferent at best.
