When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.
Now that it’s starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?
Tech/programming stuff is exactly why I did nuke mine. Going isn’t as meaningful if you leave a bunch of value behind when you do. While I’m here for entertainment now, I’m often spending my reddit time during work hours on vendor-hosted support forums, stackexchange, etc. now.
Gradually, that library will be relocated to other places. Instead of just not going, I think it’s better to take away others’ reasons for going too, give them reason to seek out better libraries.
Good thing is that the content is not lost for those that know to surf the web. But those locations don’t help reddit at all (main one is the wayback machine from archive.org and then there is a raw datadump of anyhting up to march 2023 as JSON)
