@AskThinkingTim No, I mostly used Twitter (still) and used Libreddit and Stealth for Reddit because I didn't communicate anyway

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I have only opened reddit when it returned search result of something very specific. (Yes without account and with add blocker. I am done with them)
I've just deleted my reddit account! :-)
I might try selling mine...
Genuine question. Who would buy a Reddit account? What's the value to the buyer? How would you find a buyer? Are there markets for social media accounts?
I have no idea... it was something I saw others talking about. I'm too lazy to bother finding out, but apparently accounts with good karma can be worth something.
I can imagine a high-karma account being monetized if there's an audience following a specific user - akin to Twitter followers. Is this even a thing on Reddit? I subscribe to communities, not users.
I just looked it up and there are indeed sites to buy and sell accounts, but they are fairly low-cost at around US$ 30. The only real value I can think of is for spam bots or organizations trying to manipulate public opinion using previously reputable accounts.
Social media has proven to be a powerful tool for behavior manipulation, for both commercial and political ends. (ads and mis/dis-information).
Wouldn't it be nice to sell to a good actor? Does it even matter anymore since Reddit is going down the toilet?

I’m spending the majority of my time here. There are some subs connected to my job that I still visit but that’s at most once a day in a weekday. I feel no need to browse Reddit.

Yes. Rotating between Lemmy & Kbin.
Actually getting work done during the day also.
Reddit on Mobile is completely dead to me and I will only use it on my desktop for specific searches if the info is not available elsewhere (last resort).
0.1% of the time wil be spend on Reddit, with an ad blocker of course.
Im 90 % Lemmy and 10% Reddit right now. But i think that i soon will be 100% Lemmy. Only thing that stopping me from making the switch totally is some minor things about the mobile apps for Lemmy.

I used the be on Reddit every night for hours. Now Im on Lemmy for that time. There is no common sense there Reddit started to get boring and going waaay to far left. If you had any other opinion you got banned. Im more center than anything
