For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I’m getting the same retro vibe, for so long I’ve been missing how cool and simple things used to be, the fediverse sounds really amazing and a more futuristic way of engaging online.

However, I indeed miss the old reddit since I was an active member and also all the lost karma lol.

It’s probably unhealthy to have such an attachment to fake internet points that do literally nothing.

I guess for me Reddit lasted longer and grew bigger than I expected it to, so I see this as a natural progression. It grew much further than it had any right to, I think.

My only trepidation comes from the niche communities on Reddit that I loved and whether they’ll transfer over to the fediverse. /R/woodworking for instance has some of the most supportive, pleasant users I’ve ever interacted with.

I don’t exactly have such a huge attachment but for 4 years of using reddit as a silent lurker, I only ever started posting and gaining karma last month… i got about 9k since then so yeah… having to restart is draining a bit… but like you said, it doesn’t really matter.
