I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else? (beehaw.org)

Just realized that the other day.

I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, "I'm here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn't responding in any meaningful way to the community's requests" and now I think I'll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.

It's different here, but it hasn't been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.

I check in every once in a while, at least until Apollo stops working. I mostly just stick to giving people Reddit alternatives or explaining the federated internet so people aren't scared of such a simple thing.

Selfishly I just didn't want to use the Official App with ads. But once there's a viable alternative to Reddit, and it's actually better than Reddit, why would I go back? "hurr durr cause I can get a thousand updoots on my post". Who cares? It's about the quality of engagement. I was surprised how many people unironically care about their internet points and tie their identity up with a website.
