I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else? (beehaw.org)

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.

Yup! Same here. Had someone recommend kbin on mastodon so I made my way here. Deleted 2 10+ year old Reddit accounts and cut all ties. I went in anonymously to check out what happened with that submarine but otherwise cut all ties. The amount of my life I've taken back by dropping that site is incredible. I didn't realize how much of my time was spent doomscrolling there. Now I'm playing guitar, playing games and building web dev projects with all the time I'm saving. I never got into Twitter but from my understanding a lot of people have had my same experience dropping that site too.

This is my exact situation. 10+ year old account. Once Apollo announced its shutdown I went ahead and downloaded redact and scrambled previous comments. Spent a few days searching through different socials and landed on kbin. I check it less frequently for sure. But I’ve gotten a lot of time back.

Same! Didn't even realize I had a bunch of replies to this comment til just now. Feels good to be free.
