    If the r/196 vibe stays here I’m gonna keep vibin here. I’m liking lemmy so far and don’t forget: the community isn’t the subreddit - we just happened to be on that subreddit. 196 can be anywhere we want baby 🤠

    If reddit actually reverses course on the API stuff, then hell yeah I’m going back. But if the sub just reopens after the blackout without any substantive change, nah I’m staying here.

      D: why you go back when you have a non profit community running on free software?

      I’m glad reddit is going down because finally FOSS can get the spotlight

        I mean, realistically I’ll probably stay on both. There are tons of great reddit communities that just don’t exist here, at least not yet, and I’m genuinely sad to be losing them. Reddit has been a part of my daily routine for well over a decade now, and that’s not something I can just give up easily. I do really like the vibes here at Lemmy, but it’s got a lot more growing to do before it can fully replace all the wonderful different niches that reddit was able to fill so well.

        Yeah, it’s a bit of a wake up call/eye opener for me. Why would I stay on a site that fully adheres to the rule “if a service is free, the user is the product”. When there’s now perfectly good non profit alternatives. Also, this is why Facebook/Twitter/Google etc need to either stay well away from the fediverse or just get defederated. As soon as they start participating they’ll just start taking over and trying to monetize the platform.

    this is the first i’ve actually engaged with 196. i knew of it, and visited the reddit a couple times, but it’s way more fun to be a part of it here, where everything about this is new and exciting. i’ll stick around here for as long as the vibe’s good, and if i dip it’ll be back into group chats – not to reddit.
