I honestly can’t blame the mods after all the API bullshit. I can’t imagine moderating was particularly enjoyable beforehand, and without the tools to make things more convenient I’d definitely give up.

Yeah, there’s a tendency among people to have trust for things that are popular. On the other hand if you see a lack of users on a service it makes you doubt how good something is.

Hahah… that’d be ridiculous.

Pay no attention to the mayo bursting from my pockets…

You’re not wrong, but the habit still persists a bit :(

Just have to accept that the thing I loved no longer exists.

Pretty much the only reason I still visit reddit is because there was in the past been such a wealth of genuine discussion. Like if I wanted to get the inside facts of “what’s the best mayonaise” I could find it on r/mayo posted 4 years ago.

Lemmy is still a bit lacking in that regard, though I’m sure it will come soon enough.
