I posted a few weeks ago about how I didn't feel like quitting reddit just yet. and, honestly, I still have a hard time not opening my phone every five minutes to check it.

but I decided to quit because I realized how much of a negative echo chamber it was. I couldn't even mute certain words on the reddit app so I had to keep seeing the same shit over and over again in the popular feed.

it'll be a long road moving from one platform to another, but I'm pretty satisfied not being strangled by reddit's overwhelming snark and negativity.

dunno if anyone here feels a similar way, but felt like sharing my thoughts.

Hey, congratulations! This place has its flaws, no doubt, but it's a much improved community over what Reddit has become - especially in the past 2-3 years.

Can you elaborate?

I feel like using old.reddit and subreddits that I was following since long ago, shielded me from those changes.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I used old.reddit as well, but I noticed a marked decline in the already-not-stellar quality of comment sections and an increase in karma bots posting.

I see, I'm right now mostly check news and worldnews on Lemmy it is a bit more spread out. I wish Lemmy had an option to maybe logically combine multiple communities into one.

That still depends on which subreddits you visit. If you only go to a specific set of 20-or-so subs and never anywhere else, it's fantastic.
