I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling.

It felt just like any other social media app, scrolling mindlessly, for at least a few hours a day. I noticed this has changed since I’ve been using Lemmy, where I might spend 30 minutes a day on. I’m curious if other experience this too! It feels nice to be freed from Reddit.

    What pissed me off about reddit is how it fingerprinted your machine.

    If you don’t know what that is, be scared. Be very scared.

    That meant if some power-mad admin lording it over some subreddit blocked me for petty reasons, it would be easy to get all my other 6 alt accounts permanently banned.

    F YOU for that, reddit.

    Found some anti-fingerprinting defenses, which protect me at other sites, is the only silver lining.
