The decline of reddit.

been interested in the fediverse for a while now, the decline and recent events of reddit pushed me to create a lemmy (and mastodon) account

I can’t remember the reason or even how I found Lemmy. Somehow I ended up on feddit.de, lurked for a few days and then created an account.

The outlook of having to use the official Reddit mobile app. No thanks. Even if the Fediverse only has a tiny fraction of the user base of Reddit, I’ll still encounter more original content in an hour on here than I’d come across during a whole day on the ad-infested active battery-drainage that is Reddit’s sorry excuse for a mobile app.

I made my account about two years ago, same with mastodon etc., because I switched to Linux back then and was looking for more Open Source and Privacy Friendly projects. But back then Lemmy had pretty much no users, so it was so boring that I quickly was on Reddit again. Now I saw how many people started to switch to Lemmy, and I remembered that I already have an account here, sooooo yea I try to be more active here than on Reddit now again.
