Deleted my Reddit account for nearly 2 years already and never felt better. I was just reading through old.reddit so far.
Here I’ve only spent 1-2 times a month reading and posting basically because I don’t understand it that much yet and didn’t get used to it; on initial usage, I could only say the content’s not the same as Reddit but that could be just an issue on my side because I’ve subscribed to some weird stuff…
Lemmy has potential, the more users would join I think it would become even better, however it’ll make it harder for moderators as a large flock of bots would have to be filtered
Lemmy is my new home now and it’ll stay that way.
I’m not going to be drastic on reddit yet, I intend to make a GDPR request to get all my data, but I’'ll immediately unsub from all the subs I’m currently in save for a few very niche that are hard to replace (for now).
I’ll probably check in every now and then those niche but I’ll definitely stop posting.
Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.
Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don’t see no point in going back.
I’ve removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I’m here to say!
There’s still a few subreddits that I’ll continue to follow, but it’ll be in lurker-only mode and no interaction and no adblock whitelist. My 13-year old main account will be nuked.
If Reddit had acted less crap and unprofessional with these API changes and actually treated 3rd party devs with a minimum of respect, even if 3rd party clients ultimately died anyway, I might have continued and just stuck with old.reddit.com or something. But they didn’t.
Deleted my reddit today. Staying here cause
80/20, Lemmy/Reddit.
Trending to 100/0.
I’m going to try to just use lemmy. Reddit removing moderators over this is BS and too much.
But, until everything I used it for is replaced, I will still participate in some communities over there.
Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.
I am really enjoying the concept of Lemmy but am still learning about it. I’ll probably stick around to see how it grows and evolves. I kind of like not being on Reddit.
Staying away from Reddit for sure. The people make Reddit, not the corporation. I go where my people are.
If I’m being honest I’ll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way
The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.
rif basically was reddit to me. If that app goes I won’t use it on my phone anymore. I think I’ll still use old.reddit.com, but if that goes I’ll never use it again.
