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.

I was Googling something and hit a link without realizing it was an old Reddit thread. That's the only time, my social browsing otherwise has switched to posts and microblogs on kbin every day. We're not quite ready to say we've replaced Reddit at the scale, but look how far it's come in less than a month. Just have to ride another wave of new users surging in, lots of questions and confusion, and probably more crashes from demand.

This almost happened to me today too.

But instead of going to the reddit link I saw a link to a forum dedicated to the topic I saw searching for (hammocks) and got my quality advice from there instead.

ModCoord, stickies on the protests, saving my Saved, and SEO results have also been the only uses of reddit since the blackout started. Losing reddit's wealth of knowledge collected over 2 decades is really going to suck.
