Reddit

If they gave in on day one or two, I may have stuck around.

But as it stands, a week without Reddit has effectively broken my addiction. I've already uninstalled Sync from my phone, deleted my comments, and I only see Reddit pages when they show up as relevant search results.

So they could reverse direction tomorrow and I would be indifferent at best.

I’m sticking with Lemmy because it’s picking up all the people smart enough to figure out how to use Lemmy, leaving all the morons that were making Reddit shit to begin with on Reddit. Huge win for my sanity.

I do see a way that I would use reddit beside lemmy again. But that would take a lot of change from reddit.

I won't go back. This is the final step in a long journey of enshittification - the Conde Nast sale, proliferation of power mods, the new UI redesign, subreddit ban waves, the Ellen Pao and Aimee Knight incidents etc.

I wouldn’t go back to reddit as a poster/commentator if they reversed their decision. But rather I would continue to use it as a resource, as I usually find typing in “<query> reddit” into Google to be far more useful and time saving than sifting through irrelevant search results and clickbait news articles for a simple question.

I'm going to use both, same as I'm trying to do now before the shutdown.

Reddit will be absolutely fine but I don't see myself going back. I realized I only ever used it for a few things, mostly memes. I can get that here so I'm sticking it out and helping build something new

Will reddit continue? Yes.

Will reddit ever make a profit? No.

I tried migrating when voat got popular and for awhile I used both. Voat started attracting worse and worse people though so eventually I left.

I would probably use both and hopefully Lemmy can avoid voats fate.
