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 used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence.

    Oh boy, that sounds familiar.

    I’ve quit reddit entirely too, the app/API issue had no impact for me personally. But the degree of pissing on Aaron Schwartz’s grave, is just too much.

    Never forget Aaron Schwartz.
