I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else?

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.

collegefurtrader,

I’ve been lurking

coffeetest,

Deleted my account during the AMA. Reddit is dead to me.

danc4498,

Some of my Google searches have resulted in reddit links. I question real hard how much I need whatever info is stored in that link before deciding to click.

It's unfortunate, but Reddit has SO MUCH valuable content that we have given to it. I'm hoping the fediverse will gradually start acquiring that same content along with more content.

nostalgicgamerz,

Download an extension to redirect to teddit?

A lot of that content can also be found elsewhere, you just have to look a lot harder for it.

Haven't visited Reddit since the 11th and no real desire to go back. I like it here.

HowDoYouDo87,

I still do. I wasn’t planning on it, but I enjoy the local and PS5 subs for news. Just downloaded the TestFlight for Memmy (iOS Lemmy app) though so I’ll probably be spending more time on Beehaw once Apollo goes under. Things feel less inflammatory here and I don’t leave my browse-sesh angry lol.

Nope. Once the announcement was made about the blackout I found Lemmy, removed Reddit from my favourites, abandoned Apollo and closed the chapter.

They still have the best soccer place

SunburyStudios,

Been using it on and off while this takes off. It's quality has gone down noticeably. Seeing new subs arrive for some time was exciting but the comments have been looking more like the right wing bottom feeders from twitter comments more and more every day.

Arwagollon,

Nah, I still go there, but much less than I used to.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Same. Used to go there daily like it's my home but It doesn't feels like home anymore.

Nollij,

I’ve been here since Reddit’s response to the protests became clear. I won’t use the official app (uggh), and ripping off that bandaid 2 weeks early won’t make any difference

TheVHSWizard,

I have accidentally landed on reddit a couple of times from Google searches, but the first time I went back purposefully was yesterday, when I manually deleted all my posts/comments and then deleted my account. We'll see if it actually sticks, but I do not plan to go back there until things change.

Of course it's worse. It's lacking my stellar contributions!

More seriously, I think it's probably more of a perception issue, though I do think some small but real percentage of engaged redditors are gone. I still pop by to check a couple of niche communities that aren't doing much here, and to hunt for a daily link to share on /m/cfb as the specific sport mags/communities don't seem to be as active, especially for the ones in the offseason. I don't want to treat it as some sort of purity test, but for now at least I'm trying to put my energy into contributing to the discussions on the Fediverse and just sort of passively consuming from Reddit, without commenting, when I don't see what I want here.

My link aggregator history goes from Fark to Digg to Reddit to Kbin. TBH I think this one will be slower and less complete of a transition. I don't think Reddit will zombify like those two sites, but I do think that over time, enough people will leave for lemmy and kbin to make them vibrant spaces for a lot of communities, especially if Reddit starts chipping away at the ability to self-curate and thereby self-isolate from the biggest general interest communities that are more noise than conversation.

what's Reddit?

It's like Digg, but without the ability to learn from it's predecessors.

I've been there a few times doing research for building a new PC. Other than that I've kept away and don't really miss it. Unfortunately I'll probably need to go back there for other types of research because it's a huge repository of information now and is the fastest way to find such things. But the moment I have the info I needed I leave.
