It also works on all sites, which is why FF is no longer my daily driver.

Is it just me, or is that pic creepy AF?

They're already on Insta, so they're really not giving up anything extra

I think you're going to begin to see a lot of that on Reddit. I overwrote and delete my ~10 years of comments and posts before deleting my account. I imagine a significant number of others have/will too.

I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember Digg, but they also alienated their users which caused users to migrate to Reddit.

I deleted my Reddit account right after I noticed Apollo stopped working. Mastodon and Kbin are filling the void nicely and I find I don't miss Reddit at all.

Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit. in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

[–] Mostly_Harmless@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

At first I did feel that way. But as my engagement with reddit went down it felt like my life improved.

Did Karma really matter that much in Reddit? in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

[–] Mostly_Harmless@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Some subreddits require a certain level of karma to be able to post or reply to comments. I don't know if that was to help against bots or people who would make an account to avoid a ban or something. Other than that karma was just an ego boost for those who cared about such things.

Reddit seems to be speedrunning 'self-destruct and devalue IPO'. What would be Reddit's next worst steps? in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

[–] Mostly_Harmless@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Getting rid of old reddit is a given at this point.

And since u/spez is following the Elon business model, I would imagine locking content behind a paywall is next.

It stopped about 2200 US eastern time for me...at least that's when I noticed it. I uninstalled and then deleted my Reddit account. I'm all in on the fediverse!

@Brkdncr

There's definitely room for improvement, but I like what I see so far and don't have a problem learning a new paradigm. I'm sure that as the platform matures things will become more consistent.
