Yup! I was a part of the mass Digg exodus.

I figured that would happen again with reddit, but to my disappointment the internet is a much different place than it used to be.

I remember /r/AskReddit being THE spot, and it was great to read on the go since it was just text. All the novelty accounts were awesome, RamblesOffTopic being a favorite of mine haha.

Indeed!!

As a side tangent, I used to get so mad on old forums when someone would update their avatar lol I didn’t recognize names, I recognized their picture. So if they changed they might as well be a new user until I recognized we’ve spoken before, haha.

I think they must be - though I can’t figure out which one, haha.

I can’t figure out how to do it via the website, or Voyager / Mlem on iOS.

I think there was a big shift for reddit in 2016 after they bought (and then shut down…) AlienBlue and then launch their official app. That moment it felt like when the number of users just exploded, but with that, the quality of posts (and average age of the user) dropped.

Lemmy/the fediverse reminds me of 2010-2015 reddit (which is a good thing!)

I’ve been on reddit for 15 years (on and off again, deleting my accounts and then re-signing up later).

I’m looking forward to a fresh start here.
