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?

Nah, when I think whether it was worth it overwriting 10+ years worth of content in Reddit I just look over and see them come up with yet another shit move. It instantly validates getting off that sinking ship.

After fucking up API access they decided to delete all PMs older than 2023, get rid of awards/gold, and add more dark patterns to force people to their garbage apps.

Seems now that they're gonna add "tipping" as if it was a disgusting instagram clone with 'content creators'

They're quickly tearing down everything that made Reddit unique at all. They don't want a discussion board, they want a tiktok clone or whatever.
