I still check out a few specialised subs that haven’t’ made it over here or that I can’t find a Facebook equivalent I like yet. One is for our local town and one is for cancer support. I don’t feel great about it, but as I used to spend hours a day on Reddit it’s a vast improvement. Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good is how I look at it. I may just end up starting the cancer patient support ones on my own over here, but I’m hoping someone that knows what they are doing will beat me to 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 deleted both my active accounts when the API changes were first announced and have not logged in or made a new account since.

I do own one former reddit account with the same username as this one but it’s been suspended for a couple months due to a “security issue”. They wanted me to reset my password to a more secure one but I don’t have an email linked to that account so I can’t actually reset it. So I just deleted my entire comment/post history and will never be logging back into that account.

So for the past couple weeks 100% of my reddit viewing has been while logged out and via old.reddit.com with an adblocker active.

Mainly I was checking reddit just out of morbid curiousity to see how the blackout was progressing and see if spez/admins were gonna say any more laughably stupid shit.

I first started lurking on Lemmy around the same time that I deleted my 2 active reddit accounts and as it has become more active I decided to go ahead and make an account here and give it a proper try. So far I’m enjoying myself and I hope this place continues to grow more as more people abandon reddit.

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

Since I use an ad blocker, visiting reddit means I’m making them spend money for no revenue.

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

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.

ngl yeah I do. Specially on r/gonewildaudio.

…

…what?

I only visit r/all and just to see if there’s any big anti-reddit news floating near the top.

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’m currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submitted comments. It’s been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it’s a good way 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.

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

I go on Reddit when i google something.

No client anymore, so cannot visit anymore
