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.
I feel like a traitor when I do. It has sucked all the enjoyment out of the website.
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.
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.
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.
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
Yeah I am deleting my 9 year old account on the 30th.
Despite reddit’s flaws it’s a great resource for a lot of entertainment,education and the communities can be great. But reddit got too big, too greedy and it’s just a matter of time before it hopefully collapses. Those of us moving into fed-space are the early birds.
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.
I hVent logged in since the blackout. So no.
Reddit is for redditors, and we do not belong there anymore.
Thank you Margot Robbie!

Yup. That feeling is the slow eroding of your principals. Stick to it, Lemmy gets better by the day.
I have gone back only to rob my content from a specific sub and post it here. I immediately feel like a scab for giving them 1 traffic. Then I close it.
Currently only using rif occasionally as some subreddits haven’t transferred only, otherwise I’m browsing here, but I feel bad.
Yes! And I accidentally upvoted something earlier before I realized where I was. Felt bad.
