I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.

      It definitely felt like land of the shills before I stopped going. Just hundreds of random new accounts posting in every community that went dark.

    Yep! It feels like I’m in a place I shouldn’t be in and that I’m betraying the community simply by being there

    Reddit is over for me. I’ve blocked every one of their domains in my PiHole server, so it is impossible to use Reddit in my house. You can’t fight every war, but this war is worth fighting.

    Haven’t visited their in like 2 weeks. I won’t even click on links that direct there.

    For me, it can rot. Haven’t even missed it as much as I thought I would.

    Money grabbers did me a huge favour.

      Same here although I find that doing my best to avoid links attached to Reddit is the hardest part of this. Searching for something online to only see Reddit discussions as the top result knowing full well the answer I want is probably there and yet…I keep searching for alternative links.

        Honestly, just get the info you need (with ads blocked, of course). Not commenting or posting content there is enough.

          Data analytics show usage though, which is a plus for them to diminish in the eyes of others the effect of the boycott.

    I haven’t been back since the blackout kicked off. I even feel dirty seeing posts about Reddit here and mostly avoid them because I can guess at the content. You can guess how disgustingly dirty I feel actually replying to a Reddit thread here!

      Don’t feel bad about replying to reddit-related threads on lemmy. If it’s on lemmy and not reddit, it’s good.

      TBH, I really wish people wouldn’t repost Reddit stuff here. And frankly, it feels like those folks are just addicted to Reddit and can’t give it up. I suspect most people are finding posts that were super popular on Reddit and just posting it here to appease their personal upvote obsession.

      Like fr, just skip the extra steps and go back to Reddit, theres no need for anyone to shovel Reddit’s dogshit over the fence into Lemmy’s front yard.

      The only Reddit “reposting” I really support is what they’re doing over at lemmit.online - and that’s because it all stays on their instance, and they use a single bot to do it, so you only have to block a single user to get it all out of your /all feed.

    Currently only using rif occasionally as some subreddits haven’t transferred only, otherwise I’m browsing here, but I feel bad.

    Absolutely. Trying to make the switch but I think it’s going to take a bit for me to fully “cut the cord.” Trying to find matching lemmy communities for most of my interests and then planning on deleting everything from reddit.

      Same here, I heard there is a plug in called shreddit you can use before the api changes to nuke your comments. I plan on doing the same right before th shift.

    If I really have to visit that page I do it either via cached version or via teddit. Fuck u/spez does not deserve my traffic.

      I am hoping for a unofficial api to pop up soon to get the neessary info for now without supporting reddit in a any official way possible. For the dealines, teddit and libreddit work great!
