Reddit

I still check out a few specialised subs that haven't' made it over here or that I can't find a Facebook equivalent I like yet. One is for our local town and one is for cancer support. I don't feel great about it, but as I used to spend hours a day on Reddit it's a vast improvement. Don't let perfect stand in the way of good is how I look at it. I may just end up starting the cancer patient support ones on my own over here, but I'm hoping someone that knows what they are doing will beat me to it.

ngl yeah I do. Specially on r/gonewildaudio.

...

...what?

I'm currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submitted comments. It's been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it's a good way experience catharsis on the way out the door as all of my stuff that would have been monetized through google search results go poof... First time I've been back since creating my lemmy acct though, and it was more sad than dirty.

I visit reddit to repost to Lemmy. This is the one time that reposting is the right thing to do.

Reddit is for redditors, and we do not belong there anymore.

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.

Reddit is over for me. I've blocked every one of their domains in my PiHole server, so it is impossible to use Reddit in my house. You can't fight every war, but this war is worth fighting.

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.

yes, I try really hard not to give them my eyeballs these days. I wish we crossposted with links less and just copied or screenshotted the info we are trying to share from there.

Haven't visited their in like 2 weeks. I won't even click on links that direct there.

For me, it can rot. Haven't even missed it as much as I thought I would.

Money grabbers did me a huge favour.

Yeah I am deleting my 9 year old account on the 30th.

Despite reddit's flaws it's a great resource for a lot of entertainment,education and the communities can be great. But reddit got too big, too greedy and it's just a matter of time before it hopefully collapses. Those of us moving into fed-space are the early birds.

I just don't visit Reddit. Problem solved.

No client anymore, so cannot visit anymore

Other than the normie subs I still follow like my local city's sub, yeah, it feels like the party's over.

Honestly, yes. I don't want to support what the owners of Reddit are doing. A lot of people are not going to leave there though until the place is completely radioactive though.

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

Yeah, but as my excuse, I limit my visits to NSFW subs.

I don't feel guilty yet since I still have RIF - I make it a point to only lurk though. Once RIF is gone, I'm gonna try to use libreddit for question answers and never visit the actual site again. Fuck spez. Greedy little pig boy ass bitch.

Yes. The recent exodus of decent people is noticeable.

Yup. That feeling is the slow eroding of your principals. Stick to it, Lemmy gets better by the day.

Yep! It feels like I'm in a place I shouldn't be in and that I'm betraying the community simply by being there

I don't, since I only go there for Ukraine news now, and I don't really expect people on the ground in places like /r/Ukraine reporting on genocides and highlighting local fundraising efforts to be too motivated to make the transition right away, but hopefully they'll find a presence here too. Not gonna be browsing reddit for random shitposts anymore though.

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

I only visit r/all and just to see if there's any big anti-reddit news floating near the top.

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.

I feel like a traitor when I do. It has sucked all the enjoyment out of the website.

I go on Reddit when i google something.

I quit visiting Reddit.

yessirmam

Thanks - this post made me think to check if there are browser plugins that automatically redirect Reddit links to teddit. There's teddit redirect for Firefox and teddit please for Chrome. Mobile is more difficult but it's a start.

Yeah, I check out the existentialist french cinema shitpost images of women smoking on redscarepod and some buttcoin for the luls, via teddit. Found a decent bud of buttcoin on fediverse and I fully expect to be ready to unceremoniously stop anonymously lurking come July 1st and let reddit digg itself into a shithole.

It’s joined the ranks of FB, IG and Twit as a site I don’t feel good about using. To be fair, while reddit has discredited themselves a ton lately, the past 4-5 years of ‘new reddit’ has been awful and they continue to get worse, it’s still not nearly as bad as MetaZuck or Elron.
