I am also interested in hearing about the fallout from the exodus.
If you aren’t interested, you can block the thread.

You believe what you want to. Nothing I say is going to convince you, random internet person.
I had used reddit since the near beginning, and over time the prevalence of ‘alternative facts’ and other right-wing narratives has risen sharply. You also have communities like r/conservative that participate in open calls to violence and perpetuate right wing dogwhistles for maximum rage bait. The sheer slide of r/politicalcompassmemes going from people role-playing different ideologies to thinly-veiled alt-right propaganda speaks to this shift.
Catering to conservatives and right wing players results in the enshittification of the website.
Honestly I think this is pretty well understood on an individual level.
The business world needs the wake-up call. It’s an employee market, has been for awhile and projected to stay that way as employment remains high. Start shelling out some hefty salaries or people are going to move to those who will.
Allowing racists and fascists a seat at the table under the guise of ‘fairness’ or ‘free speech’. Reddit became polluted with far-right astroturfing in the last six years.
It is not tolerance to welcome those persons who seek to harm you.
It’s not ‘Lemmy users’. It’s normal people.
Normal people hate Andrew Tate like any other con-man and charlatan. The fans of Tate are pathetic little boys looking for a shortcut through life, and Tate says you can get that bag by disrespecting others and ultimately treating half the population as property.
Normal folk hate scum, and Tate is scum.
When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.
Now that I’m rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it’s absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.
Digg.com was a link aggregate site that predated Reddit, and was more attractive to users based solely upon its relatively sleek UI.
After some years of success, Digg made several changes: obfuscation of up votes and removing down votes, and a new UI to match the reduced features. As a result the majority of the Digg user base and content creator sphere migrated to Reddit.
This resultant swell in Reddits userbase led to app creators brisging the gaps between reddits relatively brutalistic UI and the experience sought by laymen (i.e. non programmers crowd). As you have seen the decision to alienate third party applications has led to a new backlash against Reddit.
Same. Used AlienBlue for a short while until I got an Android phone. Then moved to Bacon Reader for the following decade.
Reddit is effectively dead to me. Without BR there is simply no way for me to interact with the site, plus I go out of my way to avoid reddit.com in search results.
Maybe it doesn’t matter, but I like to think it does for their traffic statistics.
Anyone have a solid how-to for the layman to host their own lemmy instance? I heard it improves browsing a lot.
I personally prefer the two devices. Keeps my work live separate from my personal life.
