Of course, if you wanted a name that was always taken you could just join another federated site. For example, you’re FloridaMan@kbin.social but there could also be a FloridaMan@lemmy.world, etc.
It’s a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people’s preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It’s a great opportunity for all the alternatives.
Hopefully there’s another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.
For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.
I’m never going to use their app.
Yep. The day the Boost app on my phone stops working is the day I cease visiting Reddit entirely. It’s about sending a message.
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

I’m still learning how this works. Thank you
Definitely. No Infinity, no Reddit. Lemmy, kbin, others. Reddit can go jump. Exciting times!
Damn, nearly forgot - fuck spez.
Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it’s so slow and there’s so much ad there.
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
When I read that I was astonished.
He literally threw free money away… for what exactly?
Wait, what? First I’m hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?
