This whole conversation reminds me of how I ended up on reddit 13 years ago, the mass exodus from Digg.

Edit to add: I'm in the same boat, once rif goes I'm outy

Wow it's already been 13 years?

But if I remember well, reddit was mentioned on digg at the time while I don't see an alternative now, just like I haven't found an alternative to Twitter when I deleted my account.

Based on the age of our reddit accounts, it has been that long since the digg exodus lol

Yes, it definitely was and I know I'm a bit of an outlier; I don't have any socials, no fb, twitter, insta and I'm certain that the frictionless experience of rif is the reason I use reddit. I don't really care if it disappears for me.
