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?

razieltakato,

Yes, only for fap purposes.

s20,

I go there through Tedit sometimes when info I need comes up in a search, but I haven’t logged in or browsed the site directly since the API protest blackout.

Weird how I seem to have more free time now. Must be a coincidence.

malloc,

Only in read only mode.

another_lemming,

Reddit is my place to check on news about the ongoing war. For some reason it wasn’t banned in r*ssia and is availiable without vpns. Lots of exiles from other places joined subreddits there.

I don’t feel like this blogosphere would move into fediverse. Occasionally, reddit became the right place for this.

mdmachine,

I was a joey user. But already had my lemme already set up for this day. I might use reddit just to track the events of the Ukraine war and some stable diffusion stuff. But most of that discord and telegram can be used instead.

Maybe occasionally subredditdrama to see the meltdowns happening. For now I’m trying to see which lemmy app I like best. Right now connect seems to be the one I am using most.

Kritoke,

Not completely, there are still some niche, non-technical communities that are probably never going to switch. I hope at some point they do, but still go once in a while to check. I don’t go daily like I used to, mostly do lemmy daily since the apps are getting so good now.

Martenz05,

I have not gone to Reddit just to “use reddit” since discovering lemm.ee a couple weeks ago. Sometimes still end up on specific threads through search results, especially for obscure stuff on older video games.

freeman,

I have pretty much stopped.

It’s not usable on my phone and now searches are basically buggered with a number of subreddits being nsfw. So for example I was searching something specific to pop_os and can’t view the thread. Just closed it. Will block Reddit returns in Kagi now most likely.

I think there may have been a day or two where I looked at it for a few minutes in the browser at work over the past couple of weeks.

jerdle_lemmy,

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t have everyone over from Reddit.

I blocked it at the router, so nowadays I don’t use it unless there’s an article I really need to access

MildlyIncorrect,

I do, but not nearly as much. Probably spend about half the time if not less then before Apollo went down. Opening up GitHub to check on Voyager updates probably as often as I am opening up Reddit.

Duamerthrax,

Tech support searches sometime bring me back, but I haven’t really been back otherwise since the boycott started.

MostlyGibberish,

I used reddit pretty much exclusively on my phone through the Boost app. When that went dark, I didn’t really feel the need to go out of my way to download a far worse app, so I stopped checking reddit.

MrsDoyle,

I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer… and lo and behold, Reddit. “Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy.” Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!

I deleted my account during the “strike”, and this was my first time back. I couldn’t upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.

leapingleopard,

Someone linked mlmym.org

which mimics oldreddit… I feel at home now.

I go back to check hometown sub once or twice a day. if I go to the front page, I only make it through about half before I realize what I’m doing and switch. Quite honestly, it feels poisonous. Whatever algorithm they have my brain has decided it can live without.
