I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.
My point rests with your last sentence. I don’t care about funny vids or weird facts, what made reddit precious was the interaction within communities and “being part of it” rather than just a visitor. That for me makes this situation life or death for reddit and from what I’ve seen, the “core” and most invested folk who made reddit what it is think so too. Without these, reddit is just another website with pictures and text.
The inaction of some communities not so deep into the internet lore is absolutely fine however bigger subs or corrupt mods yielding to the bullying from admins/supporting them will result in dissolving of these communities and this is why I absolutely think that anyone and everyone should take some action whether it be migrating to lemmy like us or any other solution they see fit whether it be a discord server or an independent forum.
It is unavoidable that there will be losses but a fresh start is the best we have and to maintain what was created over years with blood sweat and tears, reddit is no longer a viable option. It seems a spring cleaning was in order anyhow…
