This puts into words what I've been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I'm not off reddit entirely, but I've gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me
