for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I loved reddit for a few years at the beginning, but after that I became disillusioned and found myself waiting for a better alternative to come around for a long ass time. I even made an account on voat and the users were just terrible people.

But yeah, I spent a fuckton of time on reddit and I'm hoping to do the same on lemmy, with the difference being that I hope that lemmy will enrich my life and give me the opportunity to enrich the lives of others, whereas reddit was often a toxic cesspool that made us angry and miserable.

Oh wow I forgot about boat. Glad I learnt of some better alternative!
