Reddit

Purged my main account by editing every post and reply. Then deleated all of them. Then deleated the account. . There are bots to do that automatically and make it easy.

I still have a NSFW account that Is exclusively used for NSFW stuff. I kept that one, but honestly that will probably be gone soon too. The vast majority of NSFW subreddits just feel like a bunch of only fans actors trying to self promote. Nothing against them or onlyfans, but I have no interest in it and would rather see stuff from people that are just having some fun. Not trying to make a living doing it.

I switched.

I left and haven't looked back. Honestly with the consistent growth of lemmy there's been now need.

I refuse to use their shitty app, but I still use old reddit on the desktop. If they remove old.reddit.com, I will probably not use it at all.

On mobile, I tried a few apps. Lemmy feels very empty and devoid of content and communities. Mastodon is not that interesting. I feel that hacker news is the best alternative right now. Even though it doesn't have that many users, the fact that it has a single "community" helps it feel far less empty, and more focused towards technical people.

I only used baconreader, and so did my wife. So no more reddit for us.

Still using reddit read-only through Libreddit but I don't even check it every day anymore.

I hit up my niche self-hosted and Linux subs, take a peek at /r/all, get immediately put off by all the bot content and toxicity, and come right back to Lemmy.

Count me as one. I haven't been back since sync went dark. I do get frustrated with not being able to find that niche information/answer to a question by adding site:Reddit to a search though - I know it's my choice though

I only go back when a site like this or /v/ links me back.

I sure did. I was already tired of their terrible moderation policies and the arbitrary power some mods abused all to hell. Good riddance.

I dropped mobile reddit for Lemmy. I still use reddit on my PC, but never on my mobile devices.

left reddit completely and found a replacement for every community I am interested in. i love lemmy

I left reddit for good. I will not knowingly enhance reddits traffic stats on principle for the crap spez pulled. Everyone should do the same.

I only looked at Reddit on Sync so when that stopped working I stopped visiting Reddit. Now I look at Lemmy on Sync but not as much

I dropped reddit for sure, but can't say I'm exactly an avid Lemmy user. There just isn't enough things I'm interested in. I pop in every once in a while but I'll probably drop this too soon. I have absolutely no idea how I will even get any news, since I don't watch tv, and that kinda scares me. On the other hand, I started reading books again, which I hadn't touched ever since I became a redditor

I did. Occasionally visit old.reddit.com put of nostalgia, but never logged in, never controbute. It's not as busy here, but i like it. Lemmy has an OG nerd feeling to it.

Dropped Reddit since the beginning of the protest waves. But most importantly, due to this, my screen time plummeted from 10h per day to 2 or 3 hours.

I really don't think there's a way to estimate. Personally, as a long term Sync user, I switched even before Sync was reddit for Lemmy. There's no real way to measure it though.

Dropped reddit. Have been using Fediverse apps since.

Sort of. I had an account but I'd posted like 3 times one one topic in 2017. Never logged back in. Started using the terrible app in the last year but didn't care enough to find or use a better 3rd party app.

Decided to not use it during the blackout, read a suggestion to use Jerboa app.

Haven't looked back. How dare they take away my right to procrastinate on improving my own user experience.

Right here. Have you been on reddit lately? It's worse than usual. And I'm not just talking about all of the hardcore conservative/borderline fascist subs that all of a sudden materialized. The discourse on most subs is clearly dominated by bots now.

Left when Infinity went sub. I just couldn't get over how bad reddits default app was. When searching around for something else I saw conversations about lemmy and got interested. Decided to dive in with Sync and now I've been only using this. Still have Geddit to open any links I have to open if they are reddit links but overall it's been a great experience so far. With all new things might take a bit for community to grow.

I'm still using both. Lemmy is my main but for communities that are non-existent on Lemmy, I revert to Reddit.

I did, it wasn't easy but I'm here.

+1 here 🙋🏽‍♂️

I also finally received my data archive from Twitter. For weeks, the verification emails weren't being delivered. When they were, the codes had expired. Repeat. I have no proof to indicate this was a way of locking me in, but it seems suspicious because it had never happened before.

For me, it's not about being petty or spiteful against these platforms just for the hell of it. It's just that I'm tired of their unethical business model. Hostile practices. Their lock-in. Lack of interoperability. The user hostility.

It's not good for us, it's only good for the platform, which then only serves to give that platform more power, which means more user abuse, enshittification, etc.

Feels good to not contribute to that and not continue digging that hole, as well as invest in a better web for all of us.

I started my own instance and haven't touched Reddit since, except sometimes as search results. But I don't browse, login, etc.

It's all the New users on Lemmy since June 2023

i'll occasionally go back and browse on desktop only but i don't interact. all interaction is here along with most of my browsing

I dropped reddit and facebook. Don't miss them much.

I now mostly use Reddit to tell people about Lemmy

Only on Reddit for a couple communities. But, Lemmy kind of became my main Social site overall. Replaced all of them for me.

I dropped it completely. It was a garbage dump.

Well, I dropped reddit because rif stopped working. Whether it was "for Lemmy" is kind of a "for now" thing. Something better comes along and I'm likely to migrate there (or use it in addition).

This one. Second my app stopped working I never went back. Have been an avid daily contributor for a decade.

I did. Used a tool that purged my entire history.

Haven't opened Reddit since the new API pricing dropped, Lemmy is doing fine for me so far!
