My all time favourite subreddit hands down.

But as soon as my GDPR subject access request has yielded my reddit data to me I'll be deleting my account there and saying goodbye to 9 years and half a million fake internet points.

It definitely feels freeing and lemmy definitely feels more involved, more intimate, and less shitty.

Very suspicious. Something strange is happening, at least two subreddits on my radar have just unexpectedly reopened with unusually positive comments heavily upvoted despite being against the tone of everything before, I've seen others reporting similar.

Edit: Also, a thread was originally posted by someone questioning the opening up, it was quickly hidden (it got supportive replies) and is now locked. Edit again: in less than an hour there have been several such threads that have vanished.

To be fair CasualUK was the only sub keeping me active on reddit, even before the API changes. It's gonna be an adjustment getting my news etc from other sources, but so far, this community here is hitting the spot pretty well. I'd much rather be here if that's how quickly they caved :(

Regardless of their reasoning for reopening, the censorship type attitude now emanating from the sub is terrible news.
