I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

i have not been back since the blackout started.

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn’t immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I’ve found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

Fuck u/spez

I’ve quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don’t go back to Reddit, but I don’t spend as much time here as I did there. I’m counting that as a good thing

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don’t plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

I’m enjoying doomscrolling through the drama on Reddit but I’m enjoying the community over here more. I know the inevitable it’s coming (RIF user) but now it’s a much less bitter pill to swallow.

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

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven’t been back to reddit since.

There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren’t all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.

Oh definitely. I’ve been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

• Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
• There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
• The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
• Maybe I’m too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
• There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it’s awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
• It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.
