It’s a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people’s preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It’s a great opportunity for all the alternatives.
Of course, if you wanted a name that was always taken you could just join another federated site. For example, you’re FloridaMan@kbin.social but there could also be a FloridaMan@lemmy.world, etc.
Too bad we don’t get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)
@SpaceCadet2000@lynny@MargotRobbie In my case is no Infinity for Reddit and no Firefox + uBlock Origin, no Reddit.
I mention Firefox because they’re working into block browsers on mobile devices too.
Hopefully there’s another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.

For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.
I’m never going to use their app.
Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it’s so slow and there’s so much ad there.
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
Yep. The day the Boost app on my phone stops working is the day I cease visiting Reddit entirely. It’s about sending a message.
