Because I used reddit for well over a decade and had hundreds of subs I followed. Friends and communities. Years and years of shared history. It has been a huge part of my life. And this turd is ruining it for everybody, and by everybody I mean millions og people. I’m not obsessed with the guy, but I am interested to know what is going on with the place I spent so many hundreds of hours on. Don’t get me wrong, I glad I found lemmy. It’s a great community, but it’s far from what we left behind. In time we’ll hopefully get there, but in the meantime for sure fuck that piece of shit spez.

My thoughts exactly. Reddit was an immensely widespread and unique collection of so many vibrant niche communities that has grown over nearly two decades and was wilfully destroyed in mere weeks.

I can’t blame anyone who mourns the loss and resents the greedy pigfucker that killed it.

I was there for over ten years and never made any friends. I must have been doing something wrong lol

Not only did I not make any friends there, I went to great lengths to ensure my existing friends didn’t know my username.
