Reddit

I definitely left. I still occasionally lurk on Reddit but I never post or vote anymore. Real shame, because I really want to share my Factorio Bob's+Angels (much harder and more complicated mod of Factorio) victory on r/factorio, but I won't because of Spez's actions.

Full time Lemmy conversion here. I will never go back

Dropped Reddit since the beginning of the protest waves. But most importantly, due to this, my screen time plummeted from 10h per day to 2 or 3 hours.

I'm still not entirely sure what Lemmy is, but I mostly quit reddit and moved to hexbear when reddit banned /r/chapotraphouse. I still went on reddit to check local COVID stats but since Biden said and the CDC stopped tracking, there's no reason to go back.

I did once Infinity stopped working

I did. Fuck reddit.

First tried Lemmy during the blackouts, never went back to reddit after Boost stopped working

I refuse to use their shitty app, but I still use old reddit on the desktop. If they remove old.reddit.com, I will probably not use it at all.

On mobile, I tried a few apps. Lemmy feels very empty and devoid of content and communities. Mastodon is not that interesting. I feel that hacker news is the best alternative right now. Even though it doesn't have that many users, the fact that it has a single "community" helps it feel far less empty, and more focused towards technical people.

I switched.

I've stopped using it on mobile entirely, but still use Reddit for some communities like r/bash and the like, or otherwise things related to my job -- though, only on desktop.

That said, I'd like to fully move off of the platform eventually.

I left reddit for good. I will not knowingly enhance reddits traffic stats on principle for the crap spez pulled. Everyone should do the same.

Left reddit after 13 years, never looked back. Fuck Reddit

left reddit completely and found a replacement for every community I am interested in. i love lemmy

I left and haven't looked back. Honestly with the consistent growth of lemmy there's been now need.

I dropped and deleted the account. Only time I go to Reddit now is if I am searching for something and a Reddit link is part of the search and happen to have the answer I need.

I did. And I did it exclusively because of reddit sync. I used that app to browse reddit during my decade plus old account. Once reddit sync left, the app maker said he's moving to lemmy. I never even heard of lemmy until then. Now I'm here on sync.

I sure did. I was already tired of their terrible moderation policies and the arbitrary power some mods abused all to hell. Good riddance.

I used infinity for reddit app to surf reddit, when they started charging for api, app become unusable then i switched to eternity for lemmy and i love it

There are some communities that never transitioned to Lemmy, so I'll be using them untill old.reddit is disabled.

I dropped reddit for sure, but can't say I'm exactly an avid Lemmy user. There just isn't enough things I'm interested in. I pop in every once in a while but I'll probably drop this too soon. I have absolutely no idea how I will even get any news, since I don't watch tv, and that kinda scares me. On the other hand, I started reading books again, which I hadn't touched ever since I became a redditor

I only go back when a site like this or /v/ links me back.

Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.

I now mostly use Reddit to tell people about Lemmy

I only used baconreader, and so did my wife. So no more reddit for us.

I started my own instance and haven't touched Reddit since, except sometimes as search results. But I don't browse, login, etc.

I did. Occasionally visit old.reddit.com put of nostalgia, but never logged in, never controbute. It's not as busy here, but i like it. Lemmy has an OG nerd feeling to it.

Still using reddit read-only through Libreddit but I don't even check it every day anymore.

I hit up my niche self-hosted and Linux subs, take a peek at /r/all, get immediately put off by all the bot content and toxicity, and come right back to Lemmy.

I haven't participated on Reddit since leaving for Lemmy, and I've barely participated on blahaj since leaving for hexbear

+1 here 🙋🏽‍♂️

I also finally received my data archive from Twitter. For weeks, the verification emails weren't being delivered. When they were, the codes had expired. Repeat. I have no proof to indicate this was a way of locking me in, but it seems suspicious because it had never happened before.

For me, it's not about being petty or spiteful against these platforms just for the hell of it. It's just that I'm tired of their unethical business model. Hostile practices. Their lock-in. Lack of interoperability. The user hostility.

It's not good for us, it's only good for the platform, which then only serves to give that platform more power, which means more user abuse, enshittification, etc.

Feels good to not contribute to that and not continue digging that hole, as well as invest in a better web for all of us.

Right here. Have you been on reddit lately? It's worse than usual. And I'm not just talking about all of the hardcore conservative/borderline fascist subs that all of a sudden materialized. The discourse on most subs is clearly dominated by bots now.

I dropped it completely. It was a garbage dump.
