I left during the Blackout and I've never looked back.
To be fair I've got shortcuts I reflexively use and clicked on Google links. It's like quitting smoking and visiting your relatives who smoke? IDK
I’ve had moments where the answer of my search was a Reddit link. I knew I would get the answer there but I first tried all the other links. Then I cringed when I had to go on Reddit to find my answer. I don’t like it there anymore. I like Apollo, I always hated Reddit’s website.
Same, used a script to mass edit all my posts/comments to garbage, deleted them all, then deleted my account. I noticed reddit wouldn't properly show me all my comments which made it harder to hunt them down but I got most of them.
If I can't use a third party app to view content without an account, reddit is dead to me. Luckily Lemmy has been great.
Same here. Still get my fix of stuff to read during my down time.
