    I have 3 reasons I still visit… But I am cutting back.

    1. My local subreddit is still way more active than the equivalent here in the fediverse (but I do get to interact with some familiar usernames in the local Lemmy community)

    2. It’s still a decent news aggregator, IMHO, ahead of Lemmy for keeping up with what’s going on in the world at a high level

    3. NSFW content is still lagging behind on Lemmy, as well … I’m using a revanced app and I’m a mod of my own private sub so it still works but I fully expect this to be killed in the near future… In fact, I fully expect that by the time a reddit IPO happens they will have completely killed all the NSFW subreddits (even on the official app and desktop browser)

    The site is definitely in a death spiral but, as of today, I still find it useful for certain things.

    Fuck them though… They won’t get a dime in ad dollars from me and the demise can’t come soon enough at this point.

      That #1 is close to my own reason - a few small communities I’m part of, with very little fediverse activity.

      Always using an adblocker of course, having one is basic internet safety, and it reducing reddit’s profits is a nice bonus.

        I only stick to subs that have utility on reddit now such as setting up a rss for gamedeals and buildapcsales.

        But, anything that falls under entertainment like gunpla, sports team subs, show discussions, and memes I cut ties with. I do miss them, but even if I haven’t completely cut reddit off those I could at least do. Since scrolling for entertainment is not one I found vital.
