I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

Same here. Lemmy is rising quickly though, I have no doubt it will be a sufficient Reddit replacement soon enough. I've been using Apple News as my "read over breakfast" app. I already pay for the sub anyway, and once I set it up with a bunch of sources/topics I was interested in, it became a pretty good reading experience.

I hope you consider an open news alternative, or even a closed one slightly less bad than Apple. Good for you for not using Reddit though.

I fear that sounded too condescending, I seriously want to encourage you to not use Apple without making you sound like an idiot.

I don't think you are an idiot, just the same as the other millions of people who were taken in by Apple's 'privacy' and 'simplicity', while not realising the price gouging, right to repair smashing, closed source, keeping everything ensnared its ecosystem that it really is.

I hope it gets a good following because it is nice it exists at all
