Ever since I quit reddit I have become irrestable to the opposite sex. I've gotten so many bitches.

Besides the amount of content (and the occasional server issues) on Lemmy I haven't missed anything about Reddit after switching.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

that content keeps me coming back as an unregistered lurker and for much longer than all of the fediverse instances combined.

For me, the only feeling better than dumping Reddit a month or so ago has been when I ditched Facebook years ago.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

leaving facebook was easier

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well with Facebook for me it was more like a slow decline until I only used it for things I "have" to use it for. Whereas Reddit was a brutal, one day to the next cold turkey kind of thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only thing I miss about FB was the Birthday reminders.

Have you switched to Firefox for privacy? Sold your gas guzzler and started biking so you aren't climate changing? Canceled Netflix, Facebook, Google, and Xed Twitter so you aren't ripped off? Installed bidets so you aren't killing trees to wipe your shit?

I'm unimpressed.

reddit was the only thing keeping OP anchored in the fashion trends of this millennium

One real effect of leaving Reddit is I spend so much less time on my phone. I love that. Part of it is because my favorite communities haven't come over to Lemmy, which I don't love.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reading Lemmy is like a newspaper. After 20-30 min you are kind of finished with the days posts.

I am glad people are ditching reddit too but we don't need to jerk ourselves off about it

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro don't ruin the vibe, I'll go soft

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

okay that is actually pretty funny

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Speak for yourself. If you don't want in on the circle jerk you can leave

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Stop ruining the vibe of our jerk

I went back to comment on a few posts a week ago before remembering how hostile a lot of the community and moderators are

Lol I still check it on PC sometimes but Lemmy has completely replaced it on mobile for me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Same. I still have pangs of grief over doomscrolling reddit (via Boost, RIP) and getting lost in nonsense like best of redditor updates.

That said, I spend WAY less time on my phone now, which is definitely a healthy thing

It feels good. The atmosphere is so much better here, even if the content is slower.

I wasn't a poster on reddit, but I'm motivated to contribute to the posts here, especially to niche communities I enjoy when I find them.

I left Reddit, the second I learned what was happening. Haven't looked back

Image Transcription:

A scene from The Twilight Saga: New Moon showing three vampires, Caius, Aro, and Marcus, in gold-brown Rococo era garb looking judgmentally down their noses at the viewer. Above the image is the caption: What I look like, because I haven't been browsing Reddit for over a month.

My pleasure.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Haven't logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit's comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that's new or it's something I just noticed but that's such an asshole design.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I feel happy to switch to lemmy over reddit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

2 months, peasant

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does it count if I only dipped in because the answer to a question i needed was only on reddit? I was there for like 2 seconds.

[–] Gingernate 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hood my breath when I go back, If I don't breath in it doesn't count
