      My 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 stopping 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.

          Same.

          I actually feel that my stubbornness has made my life better in this case.

          I’ve been to Reddit since, but I no longer feel the need to scroll it. I just use it when I went to find a genuine human recommendation on a topic.

        Hmm, I was curious about this so I looked:

        It has been agreed that RedReader falls under the exemption for non-commercial accessibility-focused apps, due to the work that has been done to optimize the app for screen readers, and the app’s high level of usage within the blind community.

    I’m shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.

    (Shy probably isn’t the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won’t initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)

    Two types of people in this post:

    • Those answering “Why are you on Lemmy and not doing something productive”, and
    • those answering “Why are you on Lemmy and not Reddit”

    I came here because of the reddit strike. I am one of those idiots that used the official app anyway but i did not like the way they handled the change. I changed to lemmy and after a couple of days I deleted my reddit account. I actually don`t remember when I had this much fun exploring a part of the internet. I just love the community. Sure there could be more content and especially discussion in the comments but I take the slower content generation over the toxic cesspool most large online communities have become any day of the week.

    Reddit refugee. After Spez spazzed out, and I couldn’t use Sync anymore, I was gone.

    As for this second? Same reason everyone is here. On a break looking at a phone.

    EDIT

    Also, my first post! Also, fuck /u/spez

    Because fuck spez that’s why. Deleted my 10+ year old mod account back when they killed Apollo. Haven’t been back (and don’t plan to either).

    You mean at the very moment? I’m waiting for my gf to come to sleep. In general? Boycotting Reddit and I still like to get my news curated
