Piling on another comment to say that lurking here feels much nicer than on reddit. The comments are actually worth reading a lot of the time. RiF going down was a dark day, but Jerboa and Lemmy make everything light.

Oh man I'm still not over that. Such a stupid decision on Reddit's part.

Hey, at least it brought us here. And now that Lemm.ee is going away I'm doing this whole thing again.

Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.

For much of reddit's best years, RiF was my top app.

Wasn't RIF fir me, it was Apollo. But same general reason!

Some niche communities I miss (I know, I know. Make them! I'm a follower not a leader, and my schedule is bad enough already. I have substitutes). But overall Lemmy good.

I'm here for news and shitposts and random TILs.

Fuck Spez!

Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

I still have rif on my phone for it's sentimental value. Two years ago it took a while to get used to opening Connect for Lemmy instead of rif.

Came when RIF went down for good. Never looked back.

I told reddit I wouldn't be back and I meant it. RIF was perfect and they didn't deserve the defeat and lies they received for just trying to share reddit to more people in a better manner. Fuck /u/spez

Did anyone leave because they were banned? Because that was me.

Cheers y'all.

Hopped over to Lemmy around that time and learned about the Fediverse. And now I'm checking out PieFed.

What a ride it's been.

I'm so happy with Voyager being a really good replacement for Apollo. If you use it, donate to the dev. Building apps this good, solo, is hard.

Holy crap! I just got used to thinking that its been over a year since the blackout... but that shocking realization was a year ago now. Thanks, everyone!
