On principle, personally. I was done with Reddit after the API shit.
Yup. I'm also not super happy with Lemmy, but I'm too stubborn to go back. Meanwhile, I'm building my own rendition of Reddit, which will probably have the same problems, but at least I'm making an effort.
If something genuinely good shows up, I'll go there. But BlueSky ain't it, so here I stay.
I see BlueSky as different than Lemmy. In my mind, Twitter = BlueSky and Mastodon and Reddit = Lemmy and Kbin (if that's even still around).
Agreed.
I hate Twitter's format though, so Mastodon isn't interesting at all to me. I really like the Reddit setup where discussion is around a presented topic (whether a link or a text post), instead of the Twitter/Mastodon format where you follow general topics and people. I don't care about individuals, I care about ideas, and Reddit/Lemmy seem to distill ideas around topics I care about better than Twitter/Mastodon. However, both Lemmy and Reddit tend to encourage echo chambers, which I strongly dislike, hence why I'm working on something else.
BlueSky seems like Twitter 2.0, so I'm just as uninterested as I ever was in Twitter and Mastodon.
