And yet, after three months you still think about it.

I do look on Reddit sometimes, there are niche communities that don't exist in that form in the fediverse and it would be quite hard to just ignore the existence of that site, especially when wanting to look up certain information. I did successfully stop participating though.

[-] don@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

Having used it for over 12 years, sure I think about it occasionally; usually when I remember how glad I am that I no longer use it.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never use "how" and "like" in the same sentence that way. Use "What it feels like" or "How it feels".

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Good pointer, thanks!

Because it's redundant. The word "how" already contains the idea that you're speaking about the "quality" of the thing you're showing. Quality in the original sense of the word, meaning "the distinctive character of something".

The word "like" is used to express that you're comparing one thing to another in ragards to the distinctive characater of the other thing, but you've already established you're doing that with the word "how".

[-] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because it's a comparison - what it feels like. "How it feels like" doesn't make sense.

Oh my god, I JUST realized this scene is from Twilight…

[-] Nurgle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ohhhhhh. I always assumed it was some underworld sequel, which in retrospect wouldn’t have really made sense.

[-] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

... oh my god

Oh my God, you're right!

I always think it's some random scene in Always Sunny.

But after drunkenly watching Twilight for laughs, I only just noticed

It turned you into a fruity vampire?

[-] whodatdair@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I feel sparkley when I’m here

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Wish they’d stop holding these meetings in the middle of an open field in broad daylight.

I got to say I'm weak and still go there 50% of the time. But my app is still working charge free so that I can still avoid deleting it. I think shifting participation to Lemmy is the long run goal. I'm on my way.

[-] Ashtear@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not up to 50% (maybe my app being toast is part of that) but I do still visit more than I'd like. I've pretty much accepted at this point that it's the only place for certain niche discussion. I went cold turkey on participation, though. I can't help Reddit die if I'm still putting content on it (and I have full ad-blocking and domain-level JS blocking to keep ads away).

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Same. I find some answers helpful but I will not touch the UI. I have a feeling they'll start doing some manipulative shit trying to get people to participate.

[-] 13p@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Just quit using Reddit today. Feelsgoodman

[-] jeremy_sylvis@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

For me, the early days of my time on Lemmy highlighted what I'd been missing from Reddit: quality discussions light on dog-piling, circle jerking, and holier-than-thou partisan clique bullshit.

These have all come to Lemmy in force with the migration, so now I'm plenty happy on either platform with a "block early, block often" strategy. It ends up just as low-stress.

[-] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes yes and yes! I feel the same. Memes and normal conversations, without having someone to post a reference from a movie or series or even type their life time experience.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That feeling but also the AA feeling of being of the edge of falling back into it at any moment.

[-] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ok but imagine breaking and buying a bottle of vodka, only to swig it and realise it's pond water.

How I party not having browsed Reddit for three months:

https://youtu.be/cUbri6sSgK4?si

How i feel having reddit in the DNS blacklist...

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

But how do you find answers to obscure questions?

[-] yote_zip@pawb.social 18 points 1 year ago

Try posting those questions on Lemmy so we can build up our own answers. I'm subscribed to a lot of communities that seem full of people ready to help, but no one that needs help.

[-] Behaviorbabe@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I can’t even find out the best way for shop for something without getting dozens of list articles by sponsors, it’s a bummer

Vecna, Aziraphale, and The Swede

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Stuffy and pompous, makes sense

I feel like shit not having used reddit for 3 months. I want a forum for each anime I watch that isn't MAL...

[-] Zeta_Reticuli@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Been the until Infiniti worked. To be honest, Lemmy isn't that comfy and I don't really see what is interested in...

[-] Metatronz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Heck yeah, fella. Feels great

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do feel a little bit superior since I’m using Lemmy, especially when I meet some I-don-t-give-a-shit Reddit user but the feeling I got most is happiness.

This meme needs LE happy kitty/doggo.

[-] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Atlas48@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

I use both.

[-] ZugZug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Didn’t Arnold say something about “Cumin all the time”, pretty much.

[-] arwengrey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Going on 24hrs woot 😎
