I left a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

Unfortunately, the more noche your hobbies, the less lemmy is able to replace Reddit. Stuff like news, gaming, politics? Lemmy is great. Do you want a community for an obscure martial art? Then you go to old school forums or Reddit.

It's true I lost out on some of the engagement for a number of my hobbies. I'm less in touch than I was.

Turns out I can manage like that just fine, though, so...

Niche gaming is really rough too. I sim race, there’s maybe a million people worldwide who consistently engage with the hobby. The subreddits were already quiet, and on Lemmy there’s like 4 active users over the last few months.

I’ve found myself on Reddit a lot more recently cause I want to be in the know about what’s happening.
