PsychrolutesMarcidusWhy are you on lemmy right now?
orizuruBecause I refuse to install the Reddit official app.
dingusMy favorite Reddit app was killed (RIF), but I stumbled into Red Reader. For some reason Reddit still allowed it to continue. It’s not bad.
I felt like I wanted to be part of the solution by stop my usage of reddit. I didn’t want to continue to support a site I fundamentally disagree with on how they handled their monetization strategy by screwing over so many people.
At this point, I no longer doom scroll reddit or even lemmy and it feels good to not waste my time doing so.
I feel you. The problem I have is that I mostly used Reddit for niche communities. Those niche communities don’t really exist here. I tried to do without, but it doesn’t scratch the itch. I’ve even tried making a couple. But when you’re mostly just talking to yourself in a void it’s not really the same. So unfortunately I have had to go to back to Reddit for those niche communities.
Yeah, that’s rough. Luckily I mostly just used those types of communities as interesting reads more than actively participating outside of searching for content from them.
