Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

I got so much abuse posting on reddit that I almost entirely stopped posting content, preferring just to comment. It's going to take me a long time to unlearn that hesitation.

Yeah, I mostly just commented on Reddit and very rarely posted. So I'm going out on a limb here trying to generate enough content to get people to see my relatively niche communities.
