I stopped using reddit after they dropped the bomb on the devs and I’m not a fan of the company.
I understand the hatred towards them, but this is definitely expected from a company like reddit, and any other social media for that matter. As users we must be aware that we don’t own the content in their platform.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the same story comes from Instagram tomorrow, though I suppose there will be a bigger outcry then.
Honestly over the last year since the great migration, the discussions on lemmy have really grown and matured to the point where i don’t really see the value of reddit anymore
The real value of reddit for me lies in its cache of information contained in answers to questions from over the years. Whenever I’m looking online for a solution to a problem I’m trying to solve I’ll eventually add “reddit” to the search and I almost always find the answer that way.

For me there’s still value in the niche communities like r/rimworld and the like, but for everything else I’m firmly on Lemmy now
