Reddit

I just don't visit Reddit. Problem solved.

ngl yeah I do. Specially on r/gonewildaudio.

...

...what?

I deleted my reddit account yesterday and also try to stay away from web searches that link to reddit. One time i accidentally clicked on a link to a reddit answer and it felt pretty bad. I do miss some of my smaller subreddits and find myself eagerly browsing new communities in the fediverse, hoping that someone started up a replacement. I don't want to become a mod, so i don't want to start up communities myself.

Well, yeah. That's why I'm mostly here instead.

My Redditing is down from hours daily to a few minutes, at a couple of specific subReddits with info and news I haven't yet been able to find elsewhere.

No LOL. I use Lemmy, I'll keep using Lemmy. Reddit has some communities that I don't have access to on here... So I use it too. I wish I didn't, but I don't feel dirty. I use adblock anyways so it's not even like I'm giving Reddit any money directly.

I've always permanently browsed with Ublock Origin on desktop or Apollo on mobile... So they get effectively no revenue from me aside from maybe selling my browsing habits. Either way Ad revenue is likely what's keeping them afloat right now so that helps it feel a little less dirty. Once my niche subreddits are moved over it's bye bye forever

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.

I go on Reddit when i google something.

everytime i open my thirdparty client i remind myself that its stupid to do.. since i need to get away from reddit slowly. it will stop working anyway in a few days so i should rather now distance myself on mobile from it.. but somehow i open it again and again.. so yes. feels bad. :/

I only visit now when I have an obscure game question that's only been asked and answered on Reddit 3 years ago. I don't feel too bad because I have an adblocker

Totally agree!

We don't go to Ravenholm anymore.

It's just become so toxic. I remember when I used to enjoy going to Reddit and it used to make me feel good. It used to make me laugh. Now it's just negativity.

I'm using Apollo until it shuts down. Then my only interaction with Reddit will be via old.reddit.com

please dont feel bad, it takes time to wean yourself off reddit
Just slowly reduce the amount of time you spend on it and spend more time on other stuff

However for you all out there, esp if you are a mod working hard to migrate your community here, we can understand going on reddit as a necessary evil to do in order to move your communities

I haven’t been back yet (at least not intentionally; I’ve carelessly clicked some links that opened reddit but I closed them right away.) At some point I do want to go back and see if a couple of my weirder, smaller communities have made any announcements about moving off reddit. If they haven’t/won’t, then I guess I’ll have to learn to live without them. (Arguably the healthier option but what can I say? I’m weak! If I don’t have to give them up, I won’t.)

Don’t know if I’ll be able to bring myself to delete my account. Again I know I probably should, but I really don’t want to for reasons I can’t articulate.

I've been wanting to quit reddit for a long time. It hasn't been the same for years, and it's just gotten worse over time. I'm hoping that lemmy provides me something close to what reddit used to give me: great quality discussion and debate concerning real ideas. Maybe I'm just getting older and more bitter over time, but it seems like the entire website is inundated with children on mobile devices who can't think of any idea more complex than one which can be summed up in a single sentence and a Laughing Crying emoji. If not, I'll see if I can't get a tildes invite. But, yes, going back to reddit feels like cheating on a diet, or smoking a cigarette when you're trying to quit.

I have gone back only to rob my content from a specific sub and post it here. I immediately feel like a scab for giving them 1 traffic. Then I close it.

I don't mind browsing the web version with my ad blocker. Before, it was just because I don't like ads. But the icing on the cake now is the knowledge that every byte I siphon off their server costs them something that they will never get back from me

Considering the only time I visit reddit is to keep deleting my posts that pop up after I run my deletion script, no, I don't.

Rmemeber to use adblock + don't use the default app

I don't.

I haven't visited Reddit since the second day of the whole fiasco.

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

there are still a lot of subreddit that haven't ported to Lemmy [not porting the entire subreddit with all the post to lemmy]

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.

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

No client anymore, so cannot visit anymore
