This feels like a forced reddit detox. (kbin.social)

I, much like basically everyone here, have been avoiding Reddit when possible, and the content here just doesn't hit the same. My fried dopamine receptors were certainly screaming for stimulation early on but now I feel an urge to touch grass and breathe fresh air. What is this? Am I dying? I still hate the angry lightbulb in the sky.

In all seriousness though, I'll admit that I was kind of addicted to Reddit and now I don't want to go near it. Maybe this will turn a new leaf for me. If not here, I'll probably find some other way to satiate my dopamine receptors through more productive means.

Same, really. on Reddit, I mostly used the desktop interface so the third party app issue did not affect me directly. Still, Reddit emulating Twitter with the whole effectively killing third-party apps and likely putting everything behind a login-wall, combined with their CEO's tone deaf, smarmy responses... pushed me to jump into the fediverse after contemplating a move for months.

There's a lot of work to be done here, but I like what I am seeing so far. The best thing is that no one entity controls this, so bad actors' impact can be mitigated.
