I’ll still always rely on Reddit for obscure answers to questions when googling, but I plan on staying with Lemmy once Apollo is taken down. I’ve been trying it out and adjusting to it during the blackout and as long as the community stays somewhat consistent, I like it here more. Reminds me of when I first joined Reddit over a decade ago.
I usually wont quit an app over changes like this but Reddit to me is different. I like Reddit for being a place to find new communities to join and interact with what’s popular, and since the spez ama and the removal of 3rd party apps I just don’t trust it to stay that way anymore. The last thing I want to see Reddit become is another infinite scrolling content feed that an algorithm thinks you’ll like so you never want to stop scrolling. And I’m assuming since they just want to seek profit that’s what it will eventually become.
Yeah Facebook has always been shitty but imo Twitter is worse now. It feels like a weird fusion of Facebook and 4chan now especially with blue checkmark accounts being the top replies. So every post just has a bunch of edgy conspira-boomers spewing the usual right wing stuff or just praising Elon thinking he’ll notice them.
I hate meta but I think I hate Elons Twitter more so I’m rooting for zuck to kill Twitter.
