I still use Reddit everyday. But they have lost my trust. I am now actively looking for other places and other networks.

Same here. My reddit account is now only for a select few communities that haven't made much of a foothold in federated space yet here on Lemmy. But my reddit interaction is down, and I'm honestly considering deleting my account there given the total shitshow going on.

I don't think it's a place I want to go back to, especially given how hostile the place can be overall. Arguing is engagement. Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air in terms of civil and engaging discussion. It's actually like what reddit used to be over a decade ago.

I still make about one post a day on reddit in communities I like, in a reply that says "there's nowhere else to turn to" and make sure to mention the fediverse every time. Which is far less than I post on here, where it's about 50/50 circlejerk about reddit, and the other half is actually engaging with (or even creating) content.

This is my new home. It's small, but I like it that way. I mean, you can actually find out all communities on an instance, so I actually find a lot more relevant communities here than on reddit. They still gotta grow though.
