MODERATORS
I still visit posts from search, but I've given up most of the logged-in experience (upvoting, commenting, submitting on a weekly basis). 99% of my previous activity was via third party apps on mobile, so I have little incentive to go back and contribute content. I don't feel like contributing for free to some portal run by a private company. Reddit used to be a steward of their community but now feel they own it. I don't need to work for them for free
100%!!! The only thing I did differently was deleting all my usernames. I'm not contributing to all Reddit's ad tracking, AI training, privacy invading nonsense.
I still go back to my favorite subs (r/gme_meltdown and r/buttcoin) to read only, but that's it. Also there's still tons of active BB boards (not on social media) for all my niche hobbies, soI really don't have a reason to.
I'm not participating in that dumpster fire ever again. At best I'll rip content from Reddit to post here on Lemmy.
