Hello there everyone!

I am one of people who decided to migrate from Reddit, but I wasn’t a content creator or mod, just an average user who read some posts, liked one here and there, very rarely commented anything. But as someone with some IT knowledge that also read many posts regarding protest, I dropped the site like a hot potato once it started to show my support for mods.

The kbin experience for now is fine, obviously the site needs to get accustomed to recent user influx one step at a time. I wish the devs the best! Thank for your hard work <3

But the only issue I have is that not every community I have followed transfered here or not every sub found its magazine substitute. While some of them are already growing or I can deal without them, there’re few niche ones that still hold valuable information. I don’t want to help create an illusion that users don’t care at all, but there were times when I found solutions for work related problems there or resources and answers for questions I couldn’t find elsewhere. Not to mention the niche communities. Thus forcing me to go there lurking in these cases.

And here’s my question - how do you feel about it, mods and ex-redditers? In a few months that probably won’t be an issue, but I’m now troubled with that as I want to make moraly right decision.

    You should stay away entirely, otherwise you are detected as an active user, but my plan is to migrate away from Reddit regardless of the API outcome. They have made their company ethos clear and it is different from the community.

      same. I didn’t initially delete my account, because I was hopeful that they were going to change their mind about the API, but I have since deleted my account. Even if they do change, I’m not going back. Fuckin money over community. Fuck them.
