      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.

        Still love my car, but public transit for commute is the way. Die the rest, actually yeah, apart from the bidet. I saw that on Reddit all the time too, maybe it really is such a life changer. Did you know they are really cheap and can be bought as add-ons to your existing toilet?

    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.

    EH, nothing wrong with reddit, the entire exodus was stupid for the average shmuck to care about.

    Reddit is going into the shitter for other reasons, like being dominated by upvote bots. Usually ran by some intern at some corporation that’s posting an AD disguised as content. THIS is what the fucking spineless MODS should have been up against, but they weren’t.

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

        Not even banned I’d just get my comments occasionally removed for linking a mobile link, the wrong wiki, or a video example of what I was talking about

            I feel like the micro managing power tripping Reddit mod has always been a stereotype. The only difference now is a lot of the moderators that seemed a bit more sensible left and I don’t think the idea of a “power mod” can really translate to Lemmy considering how it’s decentralized

              A small number of them have tried, but quickly stfu when it was pointed out to them that they have zero standing here.

              I got into it a few weeks ago here on Lemmy.world with some asshole using the same username as he does on Reddit, a mod of 39 subs, when he started lazily regurging all the reasons why Reddit’s decisions are delightfully benign and good and to be celebrated . . . yeah, I wasn’t having that, except here there is no one who cares about Reddit admin enough to shut me up.

              Funny thing, he ended up getting all his Lemmy posts modded the same day. And not just with me: when I looked at the modlog he’d gotten into it that same day with someone in every single Lemmy thread he’d posted to. I haven’t looked again but my guess is that he either created a new Lemmy account with a different name or just shut the fuck up and went back home to Reddit like a good serf.

              Also, there have been a few rumors about various mods of Reddit subs demanding that popular federation communities of the same name be handed over to their control as well by the admins of an instance, claiming “ownership” and throwing out some non-specific threats to make that happen, but then when that didn’t work out for them (I guess when the uproarious howls of derisive laughter finally stopped) they stfu too and presumably crawled back into their Reddit holes as well.

              I love watching stupid, self-important fools get escorted rapidly and with force back into their own lane.

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

    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.

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

      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.
