Trying to make that my experience.

Declined my refund, deleted my Reddit history, now testing like 5 Lemmy clients on iOS, and I’ve only returned to the awful official app to check in on extremely niche subreddits that don’t have a community here yet.

I’ve eliminated my Reddit doomscrolling entirely which I’m happy about.

Also the Lemmy client testing is a lot of fun - it’s almost like Wild West Internet again - especially with a lot of the community just beginning to discuss moderation and administration and the emergent opinions forming. Lots of weird, cool sociology at play rn.

Down with reddit. Such a self inflicted wound.

I havent gone back since I've made my account. I've blocked reddit.com at the DNS level on my network and I'm avoiding the platform. I like the updates about the situation here but Honestly it would be amazing if they could mirror posts instead of link the original source since half of the posts just expect you to visit the r/sub it happened in which I refuse to do.

I’m a part of that group. I see 24 people wish I’d kick rocks haha, I get it.

Look, I’m sure most of the refugees agree with me. If we don’t fit in we’ll leave.

So far I’m digging Lemmy. I wish it was more active, but if it’s gonna grow it will.

It broke my heart to leave Reddit after 15-16 years, but it’s not that same place any more any way.

So, hello fellow Apollo refugees.

I deleted my Reddit account right after I noticed Apollo stopped working. Mastodon and Kbin are filling the void nicely and I find I don't miss Reddit at all.

Serves them right, I have been using Apollo for so long, it was even one of the few apps I paid for and now reddit just wanted to shut it down, for me reddit is dead and I am glad to see that Lemmy is getting new users pretty fast

Fuck Reddit. I already replaced the bookmark.

I got a Reddit notification for this post while browsing this post. Time to turn off notifications!

I'm done with Reddit. To me it's kinda a dead site except for the occasional old post I'll look at for info with uBlock Origin in Firefox.

I used the mobile app for reddit while falling asleep and that was 99% of my interaction with the site unless it popped up from a google search while on the PC. I'll still use it for that probably, but no way I am using that dumpster fire of an app. Mobile use died with apollo for me

Nobody is mentioning the obvious answer to the seemingly stupid decisions of Spez and Musk. They're tanking the primary platforms for leftist discourse online. Rest assured, they are being compensated.

It’s the only reason I’m here checking out how this works.
