Hey it’s me! Your high school friend who never addressed their insecurities and made their entire life about how they don’t live somewhere and what restaurants they eat at.

Anyway, here’s an article about how I perceive everything as racist so I can continue feeling superior to everyone

I left Reddit because of the API changes

I left Lemmy because it’s full of terrible memes and content

I also meant Memmy, not Mlem.

If something like this can pop up in weeks and provide all of the functionality people need, what makes Reddit valuable in the first place?

Maybe all of those in favor of the protests kept their word and only those who are against it remain?

People are ADDICTED to Reddit. So much so that they are using Reddit as their primary resource to talk about how much they hate it.

Once the craziness around the API stuff dies down and it’s time to stop using Reddit for good, I’m willing to bet nearly all of these people cave in some way.

While I’m enjoying my time here and I’m honestly shocked with the amount of engagement so far, I just don’t see the “fedaverse” ever gaining any mainstream traction. It’s unintuitive and the barrier of entry is way too high. Even googling “Lemmy” doesn’t bring up useful results.

Something like squabbles has a better chance for mainstream appeal, but it would need a miracle as it’s only one duder

That being said, I’ll still be here!

Yes! It sorta reminds me of the early days of Reddit ironically. It has a nostalgic charm to it.
