I’m with you. I’ve watched Reddit pull a LOT of bullshit over the years, and this is heinous enough that I’m done. I’ll keep my account because there are some very niche subs that can provide help with certain things, so I want to be able to search or post to them as needed. But Lemmy really has my attention now.
Oooh, right, I did see a post about it putting up DDOS protection and how that might screw with things. So this might just be temporary then. That at least helps me understand it; I have been trying to understand the fediverse and that behavior really confused me and made me think I was missing something big. Thanks!
