I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

    It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.

      Same boat. But Twitter wasn’t really my kind of social media anyway, maybe that’s why Mastodon hasn’t locked in?

        twitter is way more useful for following people or groups for news/updates than posting comments and forming communities

        like a secondary social media platform you can link elsewhere

        Yeah, I never had a Twitter, and when I tried mastodon I got visually assaulted by a full screen picture of a wang, so I’m good here.

        It’s the voting system that does it imo. When everyone just shouts random thoughts into the void hoping it goes viral the overall quality tends to be low. It makes for a decent RSS feed, but so do RSS feeds.

      Same here. Mastodon is nice, but never felt as good as Lemmy for me. Additionally the content here is much more interesting for me.

        Well, you can access Lemmy posts from Mastodon, but it doesn’t seem to be the ideal way to do it.

        I would love it if Mastodon really was a Twitter replacement, but although the functionality is there, the atmosphere never seems to get as chaotic and joyful as Twitter could be. Maybe that will just take time though.
