Nah I think im done. The smaller size actually makes it less scary to participate. I'm much more willing to say something on a small forum, but on a big subreddit I'll sit there for an hour before posting a comment, knowing that somehow someone somewhere will find a way to misinterpret what I'm trying to say. Usually I just wind up deleting it too. This fediverse seems cool as hell - I should have looked into this earlier.
I prefer the smaller crowd here. Reddit just feels like a mall these days. Between all the bullshit, tencent, ads and assholes, Iโm not looking back.

I would probably stay here. I deleted my Account on Reddit and i do not forgive spez for the decission he has done.
If they allow me to browse porn on a 3rd party app I'd probably use it exclusively for that. I'm incredibly doubtful it will happen since on top of the API fee they also stated the API would not process NSFW requests
Lemmy. I actually kinda prefer this to reddit, content feels much more "local" and since I can't spend hours scrolling through it, it doesn't make me a mindless soul just being fed infornation. Also I already deleted my reddit account lol.
I would probably stay here. I do like exploring new things and the fact that it is smaller would likely make me lurk less.
I plan to stay here. I like the decentralized nature of Lemmy.
I've been pretty happy here so far. The main things I miss are r/WritingPrompts and r/HFY. If they walked it all back id probably go back to those communities but otherwise try to stick it out here.
People would go back.
Base on my couple hours of experience, nope, I don't need that huge amount of unrelated content that I am not interested in. It does take sometime to customize and filter lemmy but it would be the same like early reddit anyway, won't take long to tune it to what you like.
Iโll be staying no matter if Reddit reverses their decision. The communities Iโd like to follow might be smaller here, but Iโm sure they will grow.
I'll stay on Lemmy, I came here a week ago and since then I put effort into being involved in lemmy communities with the specific purpose of not missing reddit anymore.
You know what? It's working :D
At this point I don't care anymore about what they do, I wasn't very satisfied of reddit lately, save for a handful of really nice communities, I'm not even angry about it anymore, that says a lot IMO.
Depends on how much they revert.
Reducing their API costs would probably not make me come back. Spez has been such a shit-stirrer that he's burned tonnes of goodwill with third-party app developers, especially the developer of Apollo.
I'm actually amazed that more subreddits haven't vowed to go dark indefinitely after the disastrous AMA.
Steve Huffman (and much of the Reddit board) resigning and somebody with the same ethos as Aaron Swartz heading the company would probably make me come back fully.
everyone is saying "i'm never going back", but that's just jingoism.
I participated in the voat migration ~6 years ago. Realistically, even if reddit remains stubborn, I'm estimating that half the folks who migrated will quietly move back over the next month.
I'm definitely going to try and use lemmy more, and i may or may not lurk on reddit if they continue to be stubborn. If they revert their changes, I'll probably try to use both.
It's too late. I already had one foot out the door before those changes anyway. This was just the last straw for me, and I already deleted my account.
No. I'm done. The admins had their chance to address the developers and community concerns respectfully. They instead chose to insult people, make false accusations and demonstrated a complete lack of humility and respect for the community that made their website have any value at all.
Not that I expect them to reverse course on anything, but I won't be coming back under any circumstances.
I'd stay on Reddit as long as there was content on Reddit ... But I would keep posting and commenting on Lemmy. I'd rather see the fediverse grow.
If RIF can continue I'll probably keep using, but I'll stay here as well. Lemmy and this whole fediverse thing is really growing on me, and with it being open source and the influx of technical people I think it will only get better and better, and quickly. Case in point, the Jerboa app has already improved a lot in the past week from outside help.
It'd be too late. I nuked my account, overwrote my comments, and uninstalled my apps early this morning. I don't intend to return.
