I used to preach Reddit. Like the gospel. If you called me on the phone about an arbitrary subject, at some point I would have said, ‘Well, on Reddit…’
I was so in, there was a sub of one of my favourite tv shows I was hot on and I ended up being mentioned in a newspaper in the UK.
I find myself doing that for Lemmy, but depending on who I’m talking to, I’ll either name “Lemmy” in a mild effort to recruit them if that person isn’t a piece of shit; or, even though I haven’t touched Reddit since it backstabbed its 3rd party app devs, I’ll reference posts and memes etc I find here on Lemmy as something like “bruh look at this shit on Reddit…” if the person I’m talking to is like a neonazi coworker who I’m being strategically friendly toward for the sole sake of workplace politics, but don’t want that miserable piece of shit to drag their hateful bigotry anywhere near Lemmy.
So… Reddit still holds some value as a dumpster to direct certain people toward.
