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.

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 FloridaMan@kbin.social but there could also be a FloridaMan@lemmy.world, etc.

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.

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.

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.

I started “dual using” lemmy right when the original Apollo news broke. I say “dual using” because while that was my intention, I’ve been back to Reddit exactly once, to request my information package (which has yet to be provided).
