I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I deleted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a Reddit link I access it through the way back machine.
Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything
