Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

Nope, and I used to do a lot of Reddit - like several times a day, and usually entire evenings just browsing. I used PowerDeleteSuite and deleted my account, and I use an RSS reader with an adblocker for the 2-3 local subs I truly can’t find the same info for elsewhere. One is a university I teach at, and the only exception I’ve made to this was to create a throwaway to answer a question about salaries and point the person who was hoping to teach to our union contract. Worker solidarity > Reddit drama.

MLSC87,

I go to check specific subreddits but I’m no longer a daily user

TeamDman,

Only to check /r/canadapublicservants and /r/urf, otherwise I’m avoiding it. Unfortunately it still is often one of the best sites in search results

Nope deleted it completely

parrot,

What is this pinning shenanigans

interdimensionalmeme,

Yes, I will only switch when this link,

/c/knitting

Shows every post to /c/knitting on every instance, in chronological order. Without having to subscribe to every instance, without having to create multireddit equivalent.

Just give me lemmyverse’s entire /c/knitting

PrivateNoob,

I do because there are a lot of valuable infos, but I 'm deliberately not voting and commenting.

I do not. I stopped using it the day they announced the API changes, and I deleted my account the following day.

herbh,

I took a little longer but did the same.

pohui,

Yes, because Lemmy is still at that early phase of its existence where half of the posts complain about reddit, Threads, Twitter, etc, and that’s just not something I’m interested in. Waiting for it all to die down a little.

sosodev,

I don’t. I suspect we’re the minority of Reddit users though. It’s a hard addiction to give up even with an okay replacement like Lemmy or kbin.

its_the_new_style,

Absolutely not. I have not logged in once since the day the protest started.

no

Zdvarko,

Nope, closed account after 5 years and moved to Lemmy

Occasionally, but always logged out and with an adblocker. It seems to get worse every time I check it.

On June 30 I deleted my two accounts, ran a script to change all my comments to say the account was deleted in protest (to limited success, and Im sure they’ve probably been reverted by now) and have only been back since twice due to a tech support question only having a google indexed answer easily available on Reddit.

I am no longer actively engaging with that platform. I’ve found though using voyager on my mobile devices and skimming lemmy aimlessly my need for “content” is wholly satisfied.
