Right. I’d be happy for the IPO to go south just for petty vengeance, but I’m not angry about Reddit. It’s been good to me for years, until it wasn’t.

I’m on lemmy now, and I’m happy here. Don’t need Reddit to burn, my needs are fulfilled. They can do what they want, and the world keeps turning.

Lemmy feels more like Reddit used to. Still rough around the edges, but with less… pressure?

Fewer bots, no advertising, less uhh… I’m gonna call it gentrification.

It’s like visiting that same shitty dive bar in your home town that will never die, when everything else has changed.

I much prefer this, but I can see why people would want something more polished.
