Me too!
uh no not really. I'm just here for memes and doomscrolling
I'm not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it's just more finicky
I'm never going back to corporate social media. If it's not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I'm not interested anymore.
So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.
Aren't you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.
slashdot.org > digg > reddit > lemmy.
always 100% until hard pivot to next 100%
Exactly same path, but Google Reader instead of shashdot.org
Btw, I was always curious why people abandoned /. as it didn't have any drama iirc.
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven't been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I'm not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don't care about data/ownership etc. I'm hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).
i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.
Fediverse, Forums, or bust.
And if forums just add fediverse integration like discourse is already doing, just win-win
I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.
Haven't been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I'm trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don't post enough OC, so that's my bad
I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if itβs something I ask I use Lemmy.
I'm sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren't they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
I wanna get off Lemmy/all eventually, but everything kinda stuck there
I'm Lemmy 99%. Can't do 100% because sometimes there isn't an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.
Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.
I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.
Yes, since I don't have a Reddit account
If there's a community here for something and it's active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.
I haven't contributed to Reddit since the API fiasco. I will sometimes still read it but a lot less than before. I contribute here now.
Depends if the community came over here with me or not.
100% of what?
