I had been getting sick of the direction reddit has headed for the past couple years and have been looking for alternatives.
I discovered lemmy at basically the perfect time.
So I guess I'm not too heartbroken mostly because I've been frustrated with the platform for quite a while.
I figured the Reddit exodus would happen about 5 years ago, but every similar site that cropped up either petered out or went into a fascist hellhole. Let's hope Lemmy holds up and grows.
