Reddit

Reddit is for redditors, and we do not belong there anymore.

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.

I visit reddit to repost to Lemmy. This is the one time that reposting is the right thing to do.

Yup. That feeling is the slow eroding of your principals. Stick to it, Lemmy gets better by the day.

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.

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.

It’s joined the ranks of FB, IG and Twit as a site I don’t feel good about using. To be fair, while reddit has discredited themselves a ton lately, the past 4-5 years of ‘new reddit’ has been awful and they continue to get worse, it’s still not nearly as bad as MetaZuck or Elron.

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.

Absolutely. Trying to make the switch but I think it's going to take a bit for me to fully "cut the cord." Trying to find matching lemmy communities for most of my interests and then planning on deleting everything from reddit.

Yes. The recent exodus of decent people is noticeable.

Yeah, but as my excuse, I limit my visits to NSFW subs.

If you replace the reddit.com part of any reddit link with https://reddit.adminforge.de/, you can browse without giving them any traffic / interaction (for example reddit.com/r/tihi --> https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/tihi)

Don't feel bad. Addiction takes time. It's also been traumatic haha.

Sure is nice here though.

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

I've not visited reddit since Sunday 11th and a week into things, deleted my account. My only issue is when I Google something and can see the answer is on reddit. Happened last night but refused to go there. Found the answer somewhere else in the end.

Yes! And I accidentally upvoted something earlier before I realized where I was. Felt bad.

I only go there to promote Lemmy and see how the reddit dumpster is burning.

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

Yeah, somewhat. It's addicting, though. And some communities haven't made the move to here, yet. So, I'll be going back and forth, for a bit. OTOH, I took the first step to leaving. Premium expired today. I cut the cord! It's not much but I want to support the community in some way. Also, after everything that has transpired, I can't support the actions they've taken. To me, sending them money is encouragement and support to continue what they're doing.

It's very pleasant and peaceful here. Better vibes.

ngl yeah I do. Specially on r/gonewildaudio.

...

...what?

I'm currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submissions. It's been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it's a good way to experience catharsis on the way out the door as all of my stuff that would have been monetized through google search results go poof... First time I've been back since creating my lemmy acct though, and it was more sad than dirty.

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 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.

Honestly, yes. I don't want to support what the owners of Reddit are doing. A lot of people are not going to leave there though until the place is completely radioactive though.

I am enjoying the last 2 weeks of Apollo, Lemmy has exceeded my expectations and I am going to be deleting my Reddit account on the 30th. Quality of Reddit has nosedived in the last two weeks so I don’t feel like I am missing anything.

I wouldn't know, I haven't gone since the blackouts.

I find myself returning to Reddit just to share links to Lemmy communities and answer questions about it.

echo "127.0.0.1 old.reddit.com" >> /etc/hosts

and never look back

Yes, but only because my porn reddit account is the last one I have. IMO its counterproductive to delete it since it's clear reddits monetization strategy is anti NSFW. The more of that site is unadvertisable the better.

I don't feel guilty yet since I still have RIF - I make it a point to only lurk though. Once RIF is gone, I'm gonna try to use libreddit for question answers and never visit the actual site again. Fuck spez. Greedy little pig boy ass bitch.

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 keep finding Reddit links to things when looking for solutions in my job. It's getting frustrating because a lot of the subs are still closed.

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.

Why would I visit Reddit?

I treat the blackout and what came after (replaced mods, etc) as a strike. I don’t cross picket lines and I don’t support scabs.

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.

If I really have to visit that page I do it either via cached version or via teddit. Fuck u/spez does not deserve my traffic.

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.

Yes, i accidentaly open rif 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.
