The OP link has a weird reddit URL thing at the beginning…

Not on Reddit, that’s for sure.

Interesting to hear your experience. It took me 3.5 months to fully remove myself from Reddit. (March to July):

• I started just poking around Lemmy while using Reddit
• to occasional commenting and posting on Lemmy
• to using them about equal time
• then making a final few posts and comments in the protest weeks and helping people migrate
• then I was only upvoting
• then I made a final goodbye post on my Reddit page
• then I stopped voting but still looking around Reddit and the playplace.
• then when that was over, I uninstalled my favourite RedReader app and stopped using it altogether

I’m not one who likes to go cold turkey, but when once I commit to boycotting something I stick to it until my condition is met. In those final days I came across many Reddit users who were like “if you hate Reddit that much why are you still using iiiiiit?”, that was annoying but that’s behind me now and there is no condition for me to go back to it.

I agree. If Reddit won, the victory was pyrrhic if anything. Their whole plan to end 3rd party app support could have been just a small road bump if they had just done it transparently and planned it with reasonably thought out timelines. They instead chose to do a whole front flip over it and get everyone mad, tanking their brand while trying to make it look like nothing happened.

Anyways, congratulations on your victory. Here’s your prize: ❤

Ah, if that was what you’re after, it’s too bad you missed the wave of old memes that happened on [email protected].

Reddit can take all their fake and inflated as fuck engagement numbers and shove it up their arse, for all I care.

Play on r/place, don’t play on r/place, doesn’t matter. Lemmy is big enough that it is its own thing now. People that want something different will come. As much as it would be nice to have essentially a crowd-run ad campaign for Lemmy, I respect anyone committing to not visiting Reddit again for any reason.

The germans would be happy to see Feddit.de

Fair. It’s the best I could mock up in 5 minutes. Bigger means it would need more hands/accounts to make it and keep it up.

The glasses might be making you see things strangely…

You can use old.reddit.com without issue… for now…

All you need is an AI voice to read each comment in order, sorted by score. Instant content.

You should still read the rules. There’s a general ettiquite, but there’s no universal thing that will ensure your post will belong on every instance/community.

However, unlike Reddit you can edit titles and everything about the post. So if it is rule-breaking something minor and the mods tell you what you need to change, you can fix it easily.

It’s…beautiful

On second thought, let’s not go to Reddit. 'Tis a silly place.

I want to help all these people migrate and I have been doing that all through June, but I’ve committed to never posting or commenting on my account ever again, so unfortunately the remaining Redditors aren’t going to get any more help from me.

Yeah I feel the same as a big preservationist. I feel that I got value from Reddit before, now I don’t anymore but that doesn’t take away what I benefitted from previously.

So instead I edited my top 30 comments and added something to the effect of “As of Jul 2023 I’m on lemmy kthxbye”.
