Just realized that the other day.
I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, “I’m here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn’t responding in any meaningful way to the community’s requests” and now I think I’ll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.
It’s different here, but it hasn’t been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.
I haven’t been on Facebook in almost 10 years, I deleted both my Twitter accounts the day Elon officially bought the site, but I gotta confess, I’ve been back to Reddit a few times via Google, to get some niche questions answered. It’s become such a backlog of discussion for so many topics that it’s kind of not feasible to just wipe it off the map, we have to be able to migrate all that stuff somewhere Spez isn’t able to fuck with it.
“Why is the audio crackling in Armored Core 4 on RPSC3?” Answered a year ago
“How can my new smoker’s chip tray work without holes?” It can’t, everyone with that smoker replaces the tray, answered seven years ago.
And of course, I don’t know where else to find an easy compilation of over 14 different imgur albums and GDrive documents for Monster Hunter meta builds, so even if I bookmark them now, I still had to go back to get the links in the first place.
Redditor of 10 years, gone for good. I might leave this website too, since I’m being branded a “trans-hater” here for asking what constitutes an “anti-trans law”
I converted to Reeder from Apollo to read my subscribed subreddits. I only converted about a quarter of them. Now that I go through every post, I’m dropping a few more subreddits for not being very interesting. At this rate, I may quit altogether.
Deleted my account during the AMA. Reddit is dead to me.
My account was 15 years old, I think? Whilst I am at home here. I do find out of habit open Reddit up on Desktop or Mobile. That’s only been four or five times since the start of June.
