I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else? (beehaw.org)

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.

Yup! Same here. Had someone recommend kbin on mastodon so I made my way here. Deleted 2 10+ year old Reddit accounts and cut all ties. I went in anonymously to check out what happened with that submarine but otherwise cut all ties. The amount of my life I've taken back by dropping that site is incredible. I didn't realize how much of my time was spent doomscrolling there. Now I'm playing guitar, playing games and building web dev projects with all the time I'm saving. I never got into Twitter but from my understanding a lot of people have had my same experience dropping that site too.

Ouch. We wish we could say we had the same experience. Apparently, doomscrolling was part of what was keeping us afloat. Once we dropped that, we sunk much deeper into our depression. We're glad that you had a better experience though.
