I’ve been following Lemmy and the fediverse in general for a while so I’m excited about this new energy. Like others have said, my reason for leaving Reddit specifically are:
- I won’t ever use the official app, fuck ads and bad U
- it sounds like old Reddit is going away, and I can’t stand new Reddit
- a platform more resilient to this type of changes is appealing
Firefox a few years ago would kill my Mac battery in a couple hours, now it’s as good as safari for energy management. No reason not to use it as a daily driver now.
