I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.
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 visit reddit to repost to Lemmy. This is the one time that reposting is the right thing to do.
Do you have a workflow so we can do the same?
Same here. But I’ve noticed that I’m starting to spend more time here than on Reddit, not bad.
I feel like a traitor when I do. It has sucked all the enjoyment out of the website.
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
Yes, it’s like me going into a nasty public restroom - gotta do my business asap and gtfo
Reddit is for redditors, and we do not belong there anymore.
Thank you Margot Robbie!

Yes. The recent exodus of decent people is noticeable.
It definitely felt like land of the shills before I stopped going. Just hundreds of random new accounts posting in every community that went dark.
I don’t feel dirty. Just sad for the people still over there. At this point I just log in once a day to vote for protest supporter and see what the status is. Then come back to here and Mastadon.
Some of my favorite subs over have gone full toxic and have completely removed my desire to go there. Just total hatred toward being inconvenienced, which is sad on its own that people are so desperate to be submissive. Not understanding that the only reason the protests failed was because they already decided (and then therefore invested in) the protest failing.
Other subs are still voting overwhelmingly to protest in any way possible. But the amount of gaslighting by shills (possible astroturfing) is wild. Every sub has tons of people saying “nobody cares” despite people voting otherwise.
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.
Same here although I find that doing my best to avoid links attached to Reddit is the hardest part of this. Searching for something online to only see Reddit discussions as the top result knowing full well the answer I want is probably there and yet…I keep searching for alternative links.
Honestly, just get the info you need (with ads blocked, of course). Not commenting or posting content there is enough.
Data analytics show usage though, which is a plus for them to diminish in the eyes of others the effect of the boycott.
Yes! And I accidentally upvoted something earlier before I realized where I was. Felt bad.
I find myself returning to Reddit just to share links to Lemmy communities and answer questions about it.
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 feel the same and I’m still there. But I try to use the fediverse more and more. I just gotta get the hang of it.
Yeah, but as my excuse, I limit my visits to NSFW subs.
Ah, so you can feel dirty while you’re feeling dirty. I like the way you think

Yes, i accidentaly open it and then feel very off, then get reminded of lemmy. For some technical info i have to sneak past the front page directly to the specific sub. But the sub is migrating and its coming together better than i had imagined before.
