Be honest, do you still use reddit? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

Just for the porn tbh.

The mobile app Geddit is good for this on Android. You can browse without being signed in and it gets around the nsfw API restrictions because it's just scraping the website.

You know, of all the things to use reddit for - porn never occurred to me. It's not like there aren't literally thousands of dedicated sites for that...

It's the social aspect that is pretty fun, filled the void caused by Tumblr nuking NSFW stuff. I had both a swf and nswf account if that makes a difference, I didn't use reddit just for porn...
