Just realized that the other day.
I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, “I’m here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn’t responding in any meaningful way to the community’s requests” and now I think I’ll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.
It’s different here, but it hasn’t been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.
I’ve noticed my browsing behavior really improved again after 13+ years on reddit.
I seek out more individual content, get my news from actual news sites and find more interesting stuff to read.
I noticed that in my insatiable craving of information I am now reading the newsletters in my email inbox that have gone unnoticed for years!
