Reddit already had other issues (bots, spam, etc.), so leaving wasn't a big effort on my part.

well I hope they don't miss the 11 years of posts and comments I wiped on my way out as I bet many others have, power delete suite, if anyone needs the tool to wipe still I think it still works.
It's shown that reddit isn't the end all for these kind of sites. There's now multiple players. The end has begun for them.
The quality of posts on Reddit have dropped off in my eyes. I still go there during the work day, just don't have it on mobile because the app is so bad.
What I see during the work day on the top of /r/all just isn't that interesting.
I only visit Reddit on occasion to watch how bad the dumpster fire is.
It shows how impactful the moderators can be when united in a cause. Curious how that'll pan out with any future potential investors.
Funny thing is I actually got a weeklong ban after I left reddit. I held out until infinity stopped working and then fully switched over to here.
I honestly wished I switched sooner, I always had an interest in Lemmy but never went full on until now. I can't speak for the popularity it will gain because of the nature of FOSS in relation to the general public, but it is definitely a better system overall.
