We have moved to https://lemm.ee/c/collapse -- please adjust your subscriptions
This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
RULES
1 - Remember the human
2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source
3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.
4 - No low effort posts.

You mean, left reddit when shit hit the fan?
I'm one of them. It's going great here. Was just pointed to a new community for Lemmy addons that looks super helpful: !plugins@sh.itjust.works
I'm never going back. There's good interactions and engagement, and the content is growing every day.
This plugin community is so cool, thanks for sharing!
Used to (mostly) lurk on Reddit, now I lurk here.
I am here as a Reddit refugee. I've noticed a lot of the communities here that interest me haven't hit any sort of critical mass for participation sadly...but I check in most days anyway.
I finally bailed on Reddit too. There's no reason to be on a centralized, for profit platform while we ride out the end of civilization. I wish each and every one of you the best possible conclusion to this wild human experience.
This is my test post
You passed the test. :) Welcome to Lemmy.
Been here for almost two months now, and this is home. That other place, I visit only to follow a few old friends who aren't here yet.
Lemmy has lower volume, but noticeably higher quality comments, not counting this one.
Yeah and I don't miss it either. Too many people on that sub, started to just be generic stupid shit
The discussions here are already clearly better
I've popped back on several occasions and the signal to noise ratio over there makes me nauseous.
It's absolute garbage and even if you dig into some threads, the comments are reactionary and argumentative.
Came here after waiting a few weeks to see what would remain of Reddit in the fallout. Idk what the last straw was but I like it much better over here.
Oh, also Memmy is great and reminds me of Apollo.
Of course. Maybe I've been happier not reading the worst of people.
I'm here and I've sworn off Reddit. Sometimes I end up there via Google search though. It's amassed a huge amount of knowledge and it's...unfortunate that so many Google searches yield Reddit results, and those results are occasionally unique.
I only intentionally use Lemmy, and I definitely am giving up a lot for principal. I find it disheartening that the weekly observation threads are old and outdated that are pinned here, and I want weekly threads for current observations.
I want this community more active but also more maintained.
I've left /r/collapse a long time ago and reduced Reddit engagement years back. Gone completely since the API changes.
Let's see what we can build in Lemmyland together.
I stayed on Redfit as long as Joey kept working. Once it didn't anymore I came here.
Oh yeah, I deleted my account over there a while ago, because of the ridiculous power tripping of the mods.
I started pulling away from Reddit when they banned chapo
When the API changes came I saw there were alternatives taking off, so I finished jumping ship
Yep! Hoping the chatter will increase here!
We only need a relatively small number of steady quality contributors to make it work. Adding more members will just degrade the signal/noise ratio.
I left reddit before the app stuff. Tildes for a while, Mastodon, and then Lemmy.
I remember some of your posts, this may be relevant for you.
I also move from Reddit then to Tildes now to Lemmy.
Tildes is just another Reddit with a dictator for life similar to Spez.
https://mlmym.org/feddit.uk/ i'll never go back to reddit, i always used old.reddit and here is a skin that makes lemmy look just the same!
