Fediverse

Twitter has become a toxic cesspit even before musks takeover. He just made things far worse to the point where it's basically just attempted doxing and permanent ad-hominem barrages. It's not worth any time.

I dropped Twitter as soon as Musky took over since I rarely used it anyway. Reddit has been significantly more difficult to let go of, so I haven’t deleted my account yet. I’ve tried to open Apollo at least 50 times since the 30th.

I'm really struggling in getting used to Mastodon. Already created two accounts in two different instances but couldn't follow any interesting accounts or whatever.

I'm waiting for my GDPR data to nuke all my reddits posts and delete my account.

I can't stand chaining comments (with one word in each comment). It's fun to see them once in a while, but they appear as often as spams now.

For me, I have a nice Twitter feed. Really nice, lots of good people and it makes me happy. Nearly none of them are on Mastodon so I'm having a hard time doing this anew. I expect a lot of those folks will have a hard time moving to Mastodon, but some have left for Instagram. Not the same. I have found a lot of the same forums from Reddit here, and some are empty so I hope to help populate.

You're not alone, I've been on Reddit for a long time, 12 years on and off since introduced. Honestly never used it much at all until finding Boost 5 or so years ago and have been a daily user ever since spending at least a few hours a day on it just interacting and commenting. I commented more than I viewed posts lol just was always talking. They've done a lot over the years to irritate me as a user, getting all mecha PC and destroying all my favorite communities should've been when I quit but it wasn't. Half the site turning "blue" when I'm not really into politics, sparking constant political discourse for every comment I made that didn't strictly fit the current blue rhetoric was another straw but I dealt with it and tried to keep my comments as bland as I could while still speaking my mind. But now killing the 3pa and this whole shitshow? Nah, I hate their official app and have only ever even used the site thanks to Boost, before boost my account was unused, so shall it be after boost. You know what, it's mainly bc of how much I hate spez now. It was one thing supporting a company with a blank face that fucked me over at every turn, always blaming the mods, the admins, whoever. But spez? I just can't see helping that guy out in any way after all this.

Joined Lemmy last week and Mastodon today, feels good to be free, all looking good so far

Welcome to the platform! Unfortunately, Reddit isn't what it used to be, but we definitely can reignite the community that we all so fondly remember. Already loving it here and how friendly everyone has been :)

Twitter is alot more fun now though.

Have not touched my Reddit account since June 30th 0:00
