No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.
I’m hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don’t love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren’t out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.
As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.
I’ve been a redditor for more than 16 years. Due the the recent events, I’ve been through my comments/submission history, noticing how much more active I was in the beginning. For the past, I don’t know, 5 or more years, I’ve been just lurking less and less, to the point that when it came to delete my content and account, I didn’t even have any regrets. Just did it, and that was it.
Now comes the fediverse. Here I am, commenting again, actively checking what’s happening here with a renewed enthusiasm. So yes, I’m excited for it being FOSS, federated, decentralized. By the people, for the people. Yay!
