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.
Too bad we don’t get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)
Of course, if you wanted a name that was always taken you could just join another federated site. For example, you’re [email protected] but there could also be a [email protected], etc.
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.
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
Presumably we’ll still have account age, at least.

I’m still learning how this works. Thank you
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
Wait, what? First I’m hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?
When I read that I was astonished.
He literally threw free money away… for what exactly?
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.
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.
Definitely. No Infinity, no Reddit. Lemmy, kbin, others. Reddit can go jump. Exciting times!
Damn, nearly forgot - fuck spez.
