    This whole fiasco has demonstrated to me that way too many users had a bizarre and unhealthy attachment to a friggin link aggregator…

      It is a similar atrachment to the one you’d get to an old message forum. For me, it is more about the people and the super niche communities than about reddit itself. It is going to take a while to rebuild on Lemmy what was already on Reddit. In that regard, I am a little sad to have let it go, but oh well.

      You can make anything sound ridiculous if you ignore the primary thing people use it for.

      Like, I don’t get why people pay hundreds of dollars for airline tickets. What’s the appeal of sitting in a crowded metal tube for a few hours?
