Anyone here thinking of moving outta Reddit?

Following the API controversy and Reddit's attacks on third-party app developers, there are already people deleting their accounts and content, and entire subreddits in protest that will go private temporarily or indefinitely because of the overly commercial and user-unfriendly direction the platform is taking. Another interesting phenomenon is the number of people moving to Fediverse: Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin…. Among other platforms for a decentralized social network. I invite you to go to r/Lemmy and the like to see what's going on. Reddit admins are already shutting down some subs encouraging migration. Has anyone from here already moved? There seems to be an strong anti-system vibe there. For those who don't know, the “Fediverse” consists of a collective of social networks that can communicate with each other, like the e-mail protocol, so there is no big corporation that manages everything or it should slow down the development a lot.
