This is honestly probably for the best. It's a really bad idea that we've let reddit monopolize niche knowledge

Havent been on reddit for 24 hours, havent felt the urge to check it either now that I have lemmy tbh

Lemmy fills my internet while pooping needs just fine

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's him guys, he lost the pooping challenge.

I was about to say that, you beat me to it

guys, can we possibly go 5 minutes without discussing our pooping habits please?

I mean, really? That's the turd time I've seen this mentioned today!

Since Relay is still working right now I check back once or twice a day.

After being on Kbin for the last couple weeks, it's amazing to me how shitty and toxic Reddit feels in comparison now. I'm basically only going there to check a couple niche subs, then bounce.

I'm also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.

And therefore I presume getting down-voted. It's not enough that you are offering a helpful alternative, they want to not only be ~~happy~~ miserable in their chosen place, but for all other places to not be allowed to exist either. :-(

Maybe it's because I ejected the default subs out of my list a long time ago, but I haven't gotten downvotes for it at all

[–] OpenStars@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

r/RedditAlternatives was definitely filling up with quite the drama, but I'm glad that you managed to avoid it!:-)

Welcome to the club! I left reddit with the first blackout and haven't used it since. It's been easier than I rhought so I don't plan on ever returning.

Took me like a week to stop the muscle memory of typing reddit.com into the address bar, but, I'm here to stay now.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I got real lucky. I have google earth as my new tab page and would click the home button to get to reddit. Me leaving reddit coincided with firefox removing the home button.

We're here now. Welcome to your new home.
