It's the straw that broke the camels back. They been fucking users over for years before they did the API change.
Yup, I had been looking for alternatives for years, but none seemed "ready." When the API change was announced, my definition of "ready" suddenly changed and I came to Lemmy. It's good enough, but I'll bail as soon as something better comes along.
I been quite cozy on Lemmy, it would really have to go down hill for me to find a replacement.
I think it's fine, but the emotional downvotes really bother me (i.e. people seem to prefer consensus over quality of discuss, just look at any post criticizing Biden). That's not different from Reddit, it's just not better.
But there's plenty of good discussion, so I'm happy for the time being. But I'm not really loyal to lemmy and don't see much point in the fediverse/activitypub, so the only thing holding me here is the lack of a better alternative.
