I think you're right, but I have hope. I believe in us lemmings, lol.

Using reddit makes me feel bad. It's full of such inflammatory rage bate. Even in the niche communities I was part of, there were multiple posts every day just stirring the pot. Lemmy right now reminds me of reddit in its early days, back when people were trying to have actual, meaningful discussions.

After the api-gate, I had a moment where I asked myself "what things have I actually learned on reddit that I otherwise wouldn't have learned?" And the answer was nothing. Actual, helpful, insightful discussions just don't get attention over there anymore. I get way more mileage out of my RSS feed than reddit.

I've found the tone here on Lemmy to be more positive and more informative. Don't change, y'all.

They're asking their users to leave. Its about time we oblige them.

I feel like I found a new reason to avoid amazon every time I looked for a product not being sold under some random fake brand name. I cancelled prime over a year ago and started shopping elsewhere. It costs more, but the quality of just about anything is higher.

I avoid amazon for the same reason I avoid walmart: everything is a simulacrum of an actual product. Somehow, amazon is even worse than walmart.

So yeah, boycott amazon and shop at places selling actual products.

Same here. I figured it was a matter of time before reddit was entirely ruined after the api change and IPO. I stuck around for the niche communities, but they've all been overrun by bots.

RIP in pizza, reddit.
