I really owe Steve one for opening my eyes to Lemmy. I'll certainly never go back to Reddit, other than perhaps the occasional Google search for an IT question somebody solved 10 years ago.
But as far as actively contributing? Having a Reddit account? Nope, I'm done. I was very active on Reddit, and I haven't posted since the announcement.
But despite me and many others leaving, I really feel for Christian and the other developers. They really got fucked. The 30 day turnaround was an absurd notice to give someone, and Steve didn't have any defense to give for that, according to this article. He seems like a really ruthless, uncaring person.
