Reddit

Supporting whosit? Never heard of em.

Burn the ships with the rest of us. I shredded my account replacing every comment with "fuck u/spez" then deleted my account.

everytime i open my thirdparty client i remind myself that its stupid to do.. since i need to get away from reddit slowly. it will stop working anyway in a few days so i should rather now distance myself on mobile from it.. but somehow i open it again and again.. so yes. feels bad. :/

I don't feel dirty, but I do get sickened by the comments being thrown around over there. I'm spending about 90% of my previous reddit time, here. So, I'm pretty close to weaning myself off that crack at this point.

meh. i block ads, they dont get much from me. im certainly using it less though

I don't mind browsing the web version with my ad blocker. Before, it was just because I don't like ads. But the icing on the cake now is the knowledge that every byte I siphon off their server costs them something that they will never get back from me

Rmemeber to use adblock + don't use the default app

Haven't visited it since June 11th and only plan on going back on June 30th to delete all my comments/posts/accounts. I already cut the cord and I'm moving on to multiple other sites. Do I miss reddit? Yes, but in my mind, the reddit I knew is already gone and it's not coming back. Even if they backed down on their stupid API policy at this point, they've done enough BS that there's not really any turning back on any of this.

YES.

I have been slowly using it less and less over the years in general. It's still useful if I'm searching for something on DDG. I also still visit some of the small or local subs.

I only visit now when I have an obscure game question that's only been asked and answered on Reddit 3 years ago. I don't feel too bad because I have an adblocker

I deleted both my active accounts when the API changes were first announced and have not logged in or made a new account since.

I do own one former reddit account with the same username as this one but it's been suspended for a couple months due to a "security issue". They wanted me to reset my password to a more secure one but I don't have an email linked to that account so I can't actually reset it. So I just deleted my entire comment/post history and will never be logging back into that account.

So for the past couple weeks 100% of my reddit viewing has been while logged out and via old.reddit.com with an adblocker active.

Mainly I was checking reddit just out of morbid curiousity to see how the blackout was progressing and see if spez/admins were gonna say any more laughably stupid shit.

I first started lurking on Lemmy around the same time that I deleted my 2 active reddit accounts and as it has become more active I decided to go ahead and make an account here and give it a proper try. So far I'm enjoying myself and I hope this place continues to grow more as more people abandon reddit.

There's a moment when I am googling and the most promising result that shows up is an answer on Reddit... Like ugh, how bad do I really want to know this answer. Gross.

I deleted Apollo off my phone because I kept mindlessly going there. I'm going to miss Apollo, great app. Really looking forward to Artemis for kbin.

I removed Boost from my phone's home screen, and haven't been back to the site in at least a week.

Well that's not entirely true, I used my porn account a few times. That's one thing I will miss. So much porn.

Yep, unfortunately not enough people from some of my niche subs have moved over (if any) so i'm finding myself checking every now and then. Its either check reddit or twitter for the news I'm seeking so feel a little stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Been using discord options for a few of the sports related ones, but not all the niches exist here yet. I would create those subs here but I don't have the foggiest clue of how to make changes here nor do I have the time to be an actual mod and do those communities justice.

Yeah, kinda. I'd been following a game pretty closely, Eternights. The developer was pretty active on Reddit, and I had been following him and the game since he first advertised on the Persona 5 sub. His demo just came out yesterday and the game comes out later this year. I had to log in to send him a congrats message and I even felt like I had to apologize to him for it.

Since I use an ad blocker, visiting reddit means I'm making them spend money for no revenue.

There are some things that just aren’t really here yet with regards to searchability and history, so so I’ve been back a little bit for some research.

That research was triggered by leaving Reddit though, like I’m using Reddit to leave Reddit and clean up my digital life.

In the last 10 years the internet has just been in a downward spiral and I didn’t really notice it happening. The enshittification everyone is talking about. For me it started with switching from a blackberry to an iPhone and Thunderbird entering non-development mode and Google Reader going away. I had systems, and they got disrupted, and every website became almost unusable with the ads and constant intrusion into my life and data. It all turned into a perpetual doom scroll.

So I’m going on a social media diet (only opening Instagram and Facebook to announce I’m available for work) and getting RSS back into my life to make things actually readable again. But this kind of stuff is where searching “(region) news rss feeds Reddit” is still the best way to find things.

Looking forward to kbin and/or lemmy taking over that niche.

I just go from time to time to see what a shitshow it has become.

No client anymore, so cannot visit anymore

I do now. I'm slowly purging the communities and people I follow there as I migrate over to here.

absolutely... waiting for MVP of sync for lemmy...
