Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are. (lemmy.ca)

I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters.

There's quite a few news articles on the front page regarding Spez and the blackouts, I am surprised those articles are even still up for people to see.

The comment section is filled with people saying how they should just kick the mods out of the dark Reddit's and take over, ofcourse these posts are heavily upvoted...

Perhaps there is some AI activity going on, I mean it's kind of easy to do in this day and age. You just prompt an army of AI bots to defend Reddit, and try to keep users engaged.

I am so happy I found Lemmy, and I am so happy that there is a comfortable level of activity. Sure it's only a small fraction of what Reddit is activity wise, but it's so much more hearty and welcoming.

Reddit has just turned into one big toxic mess. Lemmy reminds me of what Reddit used to be 10 years ago.

It's their responses that made me decide to nuke my reddit comments instead of leaving it.

Same here, I've deleted 5 years worth of content. Really digging the smaller community of people here who actually care.

I used Power Delete Suite and it was fun watching it go through all the comments and overwriting and deleting everything. And smaller community seems like I'm not talking into the void anymore.

Same. My intent was to avoid reddit during the blackout and then continue using RIF until the day it shutdown. Their response to this has been appalling, so I deleted my 13+ years of comments and have not really used Reddit at all since the blackout started, other than checking 1 small, specific sub once a day.

Yeah, right now there's only two subreddits I check now which I do through an rss app for Android called Feeder.

The two rss I set up being

Feel bad about even relying on reddit, but tried to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.

I had also planned to enjoy rif and Boost until the end, but I don't feel like consuming reddit content to that extent.
