I did. Said I'd be leaving when they did the API thing and stuck with it. Missed reddit for a week and then moved on. Sync for Lemmy is fine. Lemmy is quieter but there's also less bullshit.

Same. I had been there since Digg shot itself in the foot. When Apollo died, I bailed.

Yeah I did over ten years on reddit. It was fun, but it's not been that hard to move on. Plus I'm reading more.

I used to use Facebook a lot but gave that up a few years ago. Pretty much quit twitter since it went downhill. Social media platforms aren't actually as addictive as we think they are.
