I don’t understand. Maybe it’s my adhd and lack of object permanence, but I have been so unbothered by the lack of Reddit.
I bought a plant today. I’ve never bought a plant. I bought cats before buying a houseplant. I’m pretty stoked—and it’s mostly because I was scrolling through Reddit that I got up to do it.
I signed up to Lemmy like 4 months ago and dropped off due to a lack of users. I'm enjoying it a lot more now with all the reddugees around.
I like "Reddugees". Rexit is real.
I've also found that, for the most part, the type of people that left Reddit have been a lot more pleasant to interact with. I don't hate it at all. There're still a few subs I really miss, but so far Lemmy has been doing a pretty good job of filling the role of time sink.
Honestly reddit quality has degraded greatly in the last few years. I blame it on commercial propaganda (half of the posts are shilling something or karma farming) and original content being punished by auto moderator.
