    this is what im expecting too, which is why im trying the migration thing rather than just sticking to desktop/browser-only. might as well stay ahead of them

      Personally, after reading about how they’ve behaved with the apollo dev, I’ve decided to move away from them anyway. I’ll miss the communities but hopefully I can find a home here

        agreed actually, ive been feeling progressively less comfortable using reddit for a long while now & all this just reinforces it.

          Between the reposts and vitriolic comments growing in number I was already feeling like it was time to figure something else out. u/spez lying throughout the ama just made it a very easy decision to start making the switch now.

          Lemmy having small communities and less bs is just wonderful I don’t think I’m going back

        I know this is blasphemy and I’ve always understood how shit the app is, but I don’t even use third party apps (I tried them before, never felt fully comfortable with any of them idk) and use the official app. So this wouldn’t even totally affect me but I can see how bad this change is and why many people use third party apps because of said app’s shitness and didn’t even consider blind/low vision accessibility before now but obviously that’s a major issue, before the accessibility exception they literally wouldn’t be able to use the site on their phone at all, the mobile website is actually unusable its spammed with 2-3 notifications per page telling you to get the app, and they killed compact reddit which could be used with a screenreader. Also I can see despite spez saying he’s keeping old reddit and nsfw, he’s a proven liar and manipulator.

          I guess it’s a good thing that reddit’s nag to install their android app instead of allowing the browser was so annoying that I’ve never used reddit on my phone. I’ve already wasted enough time scrolling recycled memes and karma famers, frankly.

      Same. I’ll probably still use reddit on desktop to use some of the communities I like that aren’t in lemmy yet, but I’m gonna use lemmy only on mobile.
