No. I’ve completely switched to lemmy and couldn’t be happier. I’m actually surprised by how much I don’t miss reddit, I thought it would be tougher to break out

Oh yeah! The first legendary post on lemmy. Years from now, I can say to my grandkids that I was there when the poop post came out. I was there

If I have to Google something, and the answer is on Reddit, then yes.

nope but my account is not deleted. Have not had time to follow up on my data request. mostly because of kbin :)

I take the occasional peek to see if it imploded yet. I do miss certain communities. Only last week I was looking for some info on a historical subject. Google turned up nothing so I wanted to r/askHistorians. I hate they decided to stay on reddit and don’t switch to lemmy.

HomesliceAbe, 2 years ago in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

I took an introduction to nursing class in high school where we had to know the names of all the bones, the chambers of the heart, CPR, etc. During one particular topic, one of the students kinda snapped and exclaimed “I’m too stupid for this!” The teacher, a badass ER nurse who was a single mom, rode a Harley, and had seen everything from electrocuted flesh to years-old bed sores, simply said “Good. That means you’re learning.”

I work with special needs kids, and whenever they complain about feeling stupid, I pass along that wisdom, but in a bit nicer way: “You’re not stupid, you’re just learning.”

I used to visit reddit for fun. Now I just check it if it comes up in a google search.

XbSuper, 2 years ago in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Nope. Without RIF it’s painful to look at.

I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.

I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.

Lemmy exclusively on my phone (Memmy app) and reddit occasionally when on my PC.

Don’t people shower several times a day in highly humid places?

Not usually… probably depends on local culture though.

TheShadowKnows, 2 years ago in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.”

-Thomas Paine

People uphold their own oppressors because of a need to uphold tradition. F**k the monarchy.

Only when googling stuff I sometime add site:reddit.com, but I am no longer browsing reddit on my phone. With the death of RIF and APIs I just can’t stomach looking at the page.

And good bless old.reddit redirector plugin.

_haha_oh_wow_, 2 years ago in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

A little bit, but I have been favoring Lemmy. If they kill old.reddit I’m out though.

Kronusdark, 2 years ago in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Only if a search result organically takes me to something that happens to be on Reddit.

I do notice that a lot of the subs I find this way are now locked to 18+ (the SwiftUI sub) which means I have to login to view. Since I deleted my account that’s a no go.
