No Stupid Questions

Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.

10 year reddit user just shy of 150k post karma and I've left and won't be going back. I fucking hate capitalist bullshit. There's trying to make a sustainable company and then there's abject greed.

That and reddit caught a bad case of the dumbs 5+ years ago that it just can't shake.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.

Only Lemmy for me now.

I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app

Yeah, I've switched. Sometimes a result for tech help pops up on search and I open it through archive.org

That's... why I'm here.

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.

I deleted my Reddit account at the beginning of the blackout and haven't opened it since (except when Google takes me there for some search results).

The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:

1. shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
2. check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.

For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.

I still lurk on Reddit because there's not enough content on here to keep me satisfied. Also I'm finding it hard to find stuff I like, I wish the interface was more similar to old Reddit.

Ended up making the switch today. Found certain communities I liked weren't in existence yet so I'm working on getting them setup.

Since when I registered here I've been visiting lemmy more than reddit, although I go there from time to time to follow the shitshow as it's entertaining.

In fairly short order, once I left Twitter for Mastodon, I became far more active than I ever had been on the birdsite. And already, I've found there is nothing on reddit that I was following that I can't find with Lemmy. I suspect I'll become a lot more involved here over time.

It's not that the fediverse is a good replacement for twatter, Reddit, Facebook, etc...it's what we all should have been doing all along. It's like having old school usenet back.

Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.

I’m trying to! Unfortunately I’m subbed to quite a few niche communities that haven’t quite gained traction over here yet and I don’t want to be the sole poster.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

I was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.

Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout... Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.

I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest.. but Ive gotta stand on this one.

I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.

I haven't gone and browsed Reddit since the 12th (typically I read it via the Infinity app) - and I don't intend to. Lemmy is still ramping up, obviously, but every day there is more and more content on Lemmy.

Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.

I used to browse Reddit for at least an hour a day. Now I never go there but I go on Lemmy for maybe 10 minutes. Reddit was a content fire hose so there's a bit of an adjustment period to the slower pace here.

I went cold turkey on Reddit when my app died yesterday. I haven't used reddit on desktop since like 2013 so no problem there.

Been using lemmy full time, just got one reddit sub I check once a day because its a niche sub for support for a fairly dead game and I need to re-direct people to the discord so they can actually get their questions answered.

I only use reddit through Relay third party app, once it is gone, I cannot use reddit anymore, reddit without it is so bad that it is same to jump to Lemmy. So I am adjusting now and just using Lemmy/Jerboa.

Haven't been on reddit since this started. Deleted my account and wont be back

I just got on Lemmy today so that I've been using it a ton to find communities and reddit not at all. I do miss the history and size of reddit. Although on reddit I mostly lurked. Since this is smaller and newer and not corporate I'm going to try and be a more active user.

Me! I haven't used Reddit in 2 weeks and I don't intend to leave the Fediverse anytine soon.

Just joined Lemmy myself. Used a script to wipe all my content from 5 accounts. Plan to delete in July.

I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.

It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.

Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.

I quit Reddit altogether. Here it feels less addictive.

I just joined Lemmy, but it seems to be a solid replacement for Reddit, with a similar layout and less ads. Plus not likely to have corrupt admins so I'm in.

i'm finding i spend more time on other sites i neglected over the years, like gamefaqs and YouTube

but i'm loving this - i'm all over lemmy, kbin, mastodon on my phone

I have decided I will only use Lemmy from now on. I've just setup my own instance (where I am the only user for now). I am actually posting this from my instance. I follow most things I used to follow on reddit. I used https://sub.rehab/ to find where the communities have migrated to and subscribed to all of them. It's great!

Had to block reddit for a bit and replace my shortcuts to reddit with lemmy, but now I find myself enjoying my time on lemmy a lot more than on reddit. I don't know if I will ever stop using reddit due to the amount of old information over that is still very useful and because it's where most of my viewers come from, but only time will tell I guess.
