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?

I don’t browse at all on mobile now.

I only use old.reddit on the desktop occasionally now. My Reddit usage has dropped by 80% now I think.

selfreferentialname,

Yeah, unfortunately. I’m trying to switch over fully but there’s still some subreddits that I can’t replicate on Lemmy. I’ll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn’t as browsable.

Nope

Vex_Detrause,

Nope

krasny,

I usually check r/ModCoord and try to post some mandatory fuck u/spez.

For casual browsing I use lemmy

letsgo,

Only for the naughty stuff. I’ve unsubbed from everything on my main account and haven’t logged in for ages, but not gone as far as deleting my messages (can’t be arsed, tbh). Lemmy’s Naughty Stuff For Wankers isn’t quite where Reddit’s is yet but it’s getting up there.

scorpiosrevenge,

Nah deleted my acct like a month ago

biscuitsofdeath,

Nope

Daisyifyoudo,

I used RIF for close 10 years. Comparatively speaking, just trying to browse Reddit via app or in it’s browser is straight up r/eyebleach

theonetruedroid,

Patch it with Revanced and create a free personal API key. Boom.

Daisyifyoudo,

I appreciate the advice, but really don’t know what any of that means lol. And honestly, sounds like a bunch of steps to access a site I don’t have any interest in viewing or participating in anymore.

magic_lobster_party,

Reddit is dead to me. Only time I go there is if a Google search leads me there, which is not that often.

RagingNerdoholic,

My daily reddit use has dropped by an order of magnitude. Now I just subscribe to a few subreddit RSS feeds that I skim through once a day, and that’s pretty much it. If I really feel compelled to post something, I’ll begrudgingly grab my laptop and head to old.reddit … we’ll see how long that lasts.

phil299,

Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.

reksas,

Not really, I try to avoid it even when something i’m looking for is there, though sometimes I just cant be bothered to look elsewhere. I hope someone gathers all the useful information from there into archive somewhere, in case something happens to it.

Captain_Shakespeare,

For the moment it is still a massive repository of useful esoteric knowledge. I’ve stopped using it for anything active / current, but so long as it exists and is searchable I don’t see that I’ll be able to move away from accessing it entirely.

Twitter, however, is dead to me.

Rouxibeau,

Scrammed and deleted all comments and got accounts banned [for saying fuck u/spez].

I only lurk a few places that don’t exist here in a meaningful way. Discovery is harder here and desktop socks without RES.

There are just two subs I check about once every two days, but I’m yet to log in again after I disconnected my account last month. I used to only visit it through Libreddit as the UX is better anyway but now that one’s gone too…
