spez's continued jackassery. I made the switch about 24h ago.
The post by the Apollo creator was the final nail for me. It really laid everything out there pretty well. Let it go be Tumblr somewhere
I saw that post too. I can’t even begin to imagine the July 1st surge when all 3rd party reddit apps are forced to shut down.
Honestly, I'm excited! We are potentially the early comers to get the ball rolling if/when a huge number joins. We are the early people (not to discount those who came before everyone coming from reddit originally) that can help out and grow the communities
I witnessed the digg to reddit switch in 2010, now potentially seeing the beginning of reddit to lemmy/kbin. Fresh start, new communities, better connections. Can't wait!
This also was the realization point for me that was the last straw for me. It was a hard struggle not opening Apollo first thing in the morning and all throughout the day for the first time in such a long time. But now I do my best to avoid touching anything on reddit at all.
has there been some particularly recent? It seems that the protest is slowly dying with sped not willing to budge and seems to be winning, unfortunatelly.
The "turn your subs back on or we'll replace you with our people" decree was it for me.
I saw someone in a YT video say it was like Reddit was breaking a strike, and that just instantly crystallized it for me. That's abhorrent behavior and I won't be near it. I gotta leave.
