I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.
Reddit is for redditors, and we do not belong there anymore.
Thank you Margot Robbie!

Reddit is over for me. I’ve blocked every one of their domains in my PiHole server, so it is impossible to use Reddit in my house. You can’t fight every war, but this war is worth fighting.
Yeah I am deleting my 9 year old account on the 30th.
Despite reddit’s flaws it’s a great resource for a lot of entertainment,education and the communities can be great. But reddit got too big, too greedy and it’s just a matter of time before it hopefully collapses. Those of us moving into fed-space are the early birds.
I visit reddit to repost to Lemmy. This is the one time that reposting is the right thing to do.
Do you have a workflow so we can do the same?
I feel like a traitor when I do. It has sucked all the enjoyment out of the website.
Haven’t visited their in like 2 weeks. I won’t even click on links that direct there.
For me, it can rot. Haven’t even missed it as much as I thought I would.
Money grabbers did me a huge favour.
Same here although I find that doing my best to avoid links attached to Reddit is the hardest part of this. Searching for something online to only see Reddit discussions as the top result knowing full well the answer I want is probably there and yet…I keep searching for alternative links.
Honestly, just get the info you need (with ads blocked, of course). Not commenting or posting content there is enough.
Data analytics show usage though, which is a plus for them to diminish in the eyes of others the effect of the boycott.
Yep! It feels like I’m in a place I shouldn’t be in and that I’m betraying the community simply by being there
Yes! And I accidentally upvoted something earlier before I realized where I was. Felt bad.
Yes, it’s like me going into a nasty public restroom - gotta do my business asap and gtfo
Same here. But I’ve noticed that I’m starting to spend more time here than on Reddit, not bad.
I find myself returning to Reddit just to share links to Lemmy communities and answer questions about it.
Yeah, somewhat. It’s addicting, though. And some communities haven’t made the move to here, yet. So, I’ll be going back and forth, for a bit. OTOH, I took the first step to leaving. Premium expired today. I cut the cord! It’s not much but I want to support the community in some way. Also, after everything that has transpired, I can’t support the actions they’ve taken. To me, sending them money is encouragement and support to continue what they’re doing.
It’s very pleasant and peaceful here. Better vibes.
Consider donating what would have been spent on reddit to Lemmy! I’m thinking I might set up a recurring charge like reddit premium was.
If anyone else wanna move their monetary support over to Lemmy, here is the Patreon page for the lead developer: https://www.patreon.com/dessalines
Let’s bleed Reddit dry by buying him a coffee :)
They do prefer librepay too instead - Patreon isn’t free for creators
Yes. The recent exodus of decent people is noticeable.
It definitely felt like land of the shills before I stopped going. Just hundreds of random new accounts posting in every community that went dark.
Absolutely. Trying to make the switch but I think it’s going to take a bit for me to fully “cut the cord.” Trying to find matching lemmy communities for most of my interests and then planning on deleting everything from reddit.
Once RIF stops working I won’t be able to, so really that’ll be the big moment.
Same. I’m not using the app ever. I do comment/post here much more often though
Same here, I heard there is a plug in called shreddit you can use before the api changes to nuke your comments. I plan on doing the same right before th shift.
Currently only using rif occasionally as some subreddits haven’t transferred only, otherwise I’m browsing here, but I feel bad.
