I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

I still use reddit if I'm at my desktop which is rarely. Haven't touched it on mobile since the API change.

What is this pinning shenanigans

I was on the way out a couple of months before the API thing. The content had gotten stale and it was harder and harder to have honest conversations. Posts getting down voted - for every up vote there was a down vote no matter how much it changed. I made a post once that went somewhat viral and it was nothing but a toxic shit show. All I was doing was sharing a hardware mod - not asking for help or opinions. I had really grown tired of it. This migration to the Fediverse was well timed for me. Now have I gone back? Not intentional, like others have said looking for answers - not engagement.

I haven't "used" it in 8 years, but I will from time to time look at buildapcsales or gamedeals. No posting or logging in though.

Relay still works for me, same with Infinity. I'm maybe 50/50 right now. There's a lot of smaller communities that will be hard to grow here, but the big ones are just as good.
