I’ve moved on, I only use reddit when I want to find already existing stuff.
I’m a full-time Linux user now.
Hahaha yeah I’m so close to jumping in

I’ve already moved on. Couldn’t care less about Reddit any more.
Before the APIcalypse, I was already playing with the thought of quitting Reddit. Spez just sped up that process.

This.
But not much has changed, functionally, for me: I still get downvoted when I point out where people can improve their English and surpass my nephew when he was in the third grade. And I still get to debate technical things based on what I know, so that’s really no change. Different pile, is all.
Not here to fight you, but this line of thinking might be why people downvote you for being a language/grammar nazi.
i downvote because 99% af the time people already know how to write, they just don’t want to bother fixing that single error or just wanted to make a quick comment, also it is boring

Can I has downvote please?
I kinda feel like I have more of a persona here? Lemmy is a smaller community than Reddit and I recognize people more than I used to. Read: I ever look at usernames. I’ve bothered with an avatar, for instance.
Something I still miss is the “brain trust” that was Reddit. You could ask “experimental exo-ornithologists of Reddit” and get at least ten of them. Reddit had a culture of tracking down mysteries, I don’t think we have anything like The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet or Celebrity Number Six. I miss stuff like that.
Things like that come with a larger community. However, there are certainly message boards where exo-ornithologists gather where you could likely get a better answer than reddit, and if it’s not actually enough of an interest to look for, then does the answer to your question actually matter? Knowledge is great, knowledge is power, but fleeting questions on a subject you won’t think about for another decade is just mental masturbation.

I learned what a tankie is, which is fun.
I’ve been commenting a bit, whereas on reddit I would only post a comment a few times a year when I could be bothered dealing with the likely burst of negativity that would come as a response to it.
Kind of feels a bit more like Web 1.9 or so from about 2003 which I think was about the sweet spot for minimal rage bait and crazy and still a decent bit of user interaction and scale.
It would be about perfect if you could chop out a few of the folks trying to shoehorn in politics to every little thing.
