That statement about herding cats will stay with me for a bit.

/Lights a cracker

Yes

Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list… I think I’m there.

Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that’s more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.

Yep.

I’m always skeptical when a huge mass of users needs to move, and I saw what happend when Ellen Pao did her rounds. There were small attempts to threat about moving, but there was nothing to really move to.

This time it’s way different.

• Lemmys place seems to actually be mature enough to help refugees move with more confidence.
• Spez royaly screwing up so bad in an AMA and showing where their loyalty lies.
• The posts/discussions are at a level now that will attract users to stay and make better long term decisions if they wanna lurk/contribute.

I moved when Digg went down because we got shown that we are a product.

I moved now because Reddit/“Fuck /u/spez” showed us that we are a product

We are better than that and if I can see spez go down in flames, with an IPO that gets shown what happens when you disregard what makes your “product” valuable…

I am a lemming!!
