They're gonna shut down old reddit or make it a premium feature aren't they?

They’re gonna shut down old reddit

Day they do that is the day I never go back to Reddit.

That day should've come and gone my friend. Actively avoid it!

I would love to be 100% Lemmy but there's still a lot more users and discussions on Reddit. It's getting better, but it's not yet at critical mass for me

I don't visit Reddit out of principle. I don't care that there are more discussions and more fun content and game dev updates and stuff there that I'm missing. I mourn the loss, but I will never go back and visit Reddit. Mustn't give them traffic.

I don't blame you. I'm not quite at that point yet, but I'm not far off.

If they kill or nerf Old Reddit I'll probably be done.

Understandable. It's a big step to take.

It's liberating though. Like a recovering alcoholic able to say they are sober without relapsing. 😄

I don't have a problem! I can stop whenever I want! :P

Thing is- I don't use reddit for 'scrolling', mainly for participation in various discussions. That makes it a lot harder to replace...

Same as you 🖐️, also participated in a lot of discussions. I loved it, it was so much fun. I miss that aspect, because a lot of my interests aren't represented well here in the fediverse. Alas...
