Since I haven't tracked these data over time, I have no idea how the blackout is impacting specific subs.
I deleted my 14+ year account (after deleting my content) right after the AMA: never going back. Have used RIF for as long as it has been around and it's going dark June 30. Bridge burned. No regrets.
Day 4 Reddit-free for me (I deleted all my accounts - one of which was 14+ years old - after the AMA ... jfc what a catastrophe!) Exploring the Fediverse when the servers will allow me, made chicken cacciatore for dinner (it was awesome) and now just wandering around lemmy.ml because I can. Life is good...
I'm about 24 hours into Lemmy and beyond bamboozled so thank you intensely for your ELI5 response: really helped. My key concern is who pays to keep all the lights on?
Username checks out (sorry, couldn't resist)
Joined yesterday after shutting down my 14+ year old Reddit account (mourning has commenced). So far, so good. Will spend time looking around for the next few days but do consider this home now. Jerboa is an easy transition from RIF (unlike others, no complaints on functionality - it does everything I need ATM and I do remember the early days of Reddit: this is so smooth by comparison). Just need more users and more content but that will surely come quickly given u/spez's decision-making.
