See? Spez isn’t all bad. His charisma-less incompetence is good for something!
I heard through the grapevine [and have no idea how valid it is] that he used to be a moderator on r/jailbait. I don’t know how true that is, but if it is I think he looks the part lol
Well that took all of 5 minutes to figure out how this federated stuff works. Thanks spez, cya later reddit.
Wow. The number of servers… cool.
I have been wanting to switch to Lemmy for a long time, it is my last non-FOSS social media. But I never imagined Lemmy will be popular because reddit is thriving, and I cannot see reason for people to leave.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you spez form the bottom of my heart. And I hope you keep down the path you are on and turn reddit into a Twitter dumpster fire.
FOR THE FEDIVERSE!
7 year 10 month long on Reddit (until now) and only ever used Apollo and previously Alien Blue until Spez decided to kill the joy out of both. Never posted much on reddit either. Happy to be here with everyone and contribute to Lemmy!
Thanks spez for making lemmy more popular
Wonderful news. It was honestly time for us to start moving away from Reddit anyway. This just gives us an excuse.
Agreed, the increased ads, detriment to user experience and general toxicity was becoming unbearable. I am very thankful to have found a new home.
Honestly I hope it remains small enough to not attract influencers and low grade content, but also large enough to become a significant source of useful searchable info. It’s a pipe dream but hey
One can hope.
Right now, I love the size and the community feel. It’s as if we are all trying to make this place our home, so we are all figuring it out together, posting often and engaging. I know it won’t last forever, but I’m enjoying it while it is lasting.
That’s supposed to be the idea behind instances: that you can make your community as big or as small as you want. I think it’ll work
Looking forward to the next iteration of Reddit. This reminds me of when I first joined during the Digg exodus
What caused the Digg exodus?
Digg made changes to their site that pissed off a lot of users, so they went to Reddit. And then Reddit did the same, so now here we all are on Lemmy.
