Well we are one of the largest instances out there with open signups...

9 year creator as well, and I was legitimately sad when I pressed that delete account button. Before running the automated removal scripts I read through each one of my posts and comments and that brought back a lot of interesting memories of a different younger me. I archived what I could and got rid of the rest.

Yes I use third party apps but it's the whole response from /u/spez and Reddit that really made me call it quits. They're clearly catering for the Tiktok generation and not users who genuinely want to post original content and build good communities.

There also is the empty https://kbin.social/m/WritingPrompts. On Beehaw's writing some people have posted prompts and it's the first place here where I've actually seen someone reply to a prompt. It's not a dedicated writing prompt space though.

In general it looks like the migration is mostly spearheaded by tech rather than art, which I sort of expect. I mean the original /r/writingprompts didn't even discuss or acknowledge the protest at all.

I'm already seeing an increase in trolling and spam across the Lemmy and Kbin instances. Hopefully the mods can handle the influx.

I've blocked their entire domain and I now I don't see their NSFW posts anymore.

Go to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com (basically `/d/<domain you want to block>') and press the block icon on the sidebar. Yes you'll have to briefly look at their front page before you can block their content.

The first few days was the refugee camp outside Reddit City, where we were all scrambling between our tents and looking for places that would take us. Now those camps are flourishing and buildings are popping up, while new citizens are joining every day!

This is all giving me strong Digg vs. Reddit comic vibes and I love it!

That's so true as a Linux user in front of non-techies.
