I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.
I visit reddit to repost to Lemmy. This is the one time that reposting is the right thing to do.
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
Yeah, but as my excuse, I limit my visits to NSFW subs.
Ah, so you can feel dirty while you’re feeling dirty. I like the way you think

Reddit is for redditors, and we do not belong there anymore.
Thank you Margot Robbie!

I hVent logged in since the blackout. So no.
ngl yeah I do. Specially on r/gonewildaudio.
…
…what?
I still check out a few specialised subs that haven’t’ made it over here or that I can’t find a Facebook equivalent I like yet. One is for our local town and one is for cancer support. I don’t feel great about it, but as I used to spend hours a day on Reddit it’s a vast improvement. Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good is how I look at it. I may just end up starting the cancer patient support ones on my own over here, but I’m hoping someone that knows what they are doing will beat me to it.
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.
I don’t feel dirty. Just sad for the people still over there. At this point I just log in once a day to vote for protest supporter and see what the status is. Then come back to here and Mastadon.
Some of my favorite subs over have gone full toxic and have completely removed my desire to go there. Just total hatred toward being inconvenienced, which is sad on its own that people are so desperate to be submissive. Not understanding that the only reason the protests failed was because they already decided (and then therefore invested in) the protest failing.
Other subs are still voting overwhelmingly to protest in any way possible. But the amount of gaslighting by shills (possible astroturfing) is wild. Every sub has tons of people saying “nobody cares” despite people voting otherwise.
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.
I’m currently using Reddit Enhancement Suite to delete 8 years worth of comments and submitted comments. It’s been a walk down memory lane as they all disappear, but it’s a good way experience catharsis on the way out the door as all of my stuff that would have been monetized through google search results go poof… First time I’ve been back since creating my lemmy acct though, and it was more sad than dirty.
If it makes you feel any better, your comments probably aren’t deleted and are still in reddits database. A lot of companies just set an ‘isDeleted’ flag to true/false. So even though the data doesn’t show up via the API, reddit still has all the data to sell to clients.
Probably true, but if a lot of people delete their old comments, lots of Google searches will end up showing bad results for Reddit.
I’ve felt gross for years, ever since they switched from old reddit to the new trash design. I used old.reddit.com for a bit, but stopped once I saw how much tracking garbage ublock was blocking, even on old reddit.
Before lemmy I was using teddit as a privacy focused frontend for reddit which worked great. But now the API changes will kill teddit so no more reddit for me!
I haven’t been back since the blackout kicked off. I even feel dirty seeing posts about Reddit here and mostly avoid them because I can guess at the content. You can guess how disgustingly dirty I feel actually replying to a Reddit thread here!
Don’t feel bad about replying to reddit-related threads on lemmy. If it’s on lemmy and not reddit, it’s good.
TBH, I really wish people wouldn’t repost Reddit stuff here. And frankly, it feels like those folks are just addicted to Reddit and can’t give it up. I suspect most people are finding posts that were super popular on Reddit and just posting it here to appease their personal upvote obsession.
Like fr, just skip the extra steps and go back to Reddit, theres no need for anyone to shovel Reddit’s dogshit over the fence into Lemmy’s front yard.
The only Reddit “reposting” I really support is what they’re doing over at lemmit.online - and that’s because it all stays on their instance, and they use a single bot to do it, so you only have to block a single user to get it all out of your /all feed.
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.
I just don’t visit Reddit. Problem solved.
I could totally see a 70s detective parody movie titled “Dick Justice!”. Either that or a porno. Either way, it’s a winner.
Hah hah, I wish could take credit for it, but it’s a Max Payne reference :)
I go on Reddit when i google something.
