I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The "home feed" shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it's hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I'm not sure what's up with that.

A lot of people here still using Reddit. Such a shame.

The world would be a better place if people were willing to put their money where their mouth is. You're no better than the people that hate Elon Musk but refuse to leave X.

Jesus, chill out dude. It's okay to use Reddit for some things, because, like it or not, it's the only viable option for a lot of things

Yeah I gave up that shit. I'll only go there if a search result takes me there for information I was looking for.

Sysadmin, certain IT related subs, and my local city sub, are all still 'useful' subs in some way or another just due to sheer population still over there, at least until we have a larger mass adoption over here.

Based on your shared view, why would you even sub to this LW community? Just cut the cord fully if that's your preference.

I really miss having a local sub but both of the portland subs turned into absolute cess pools the past year, there's an ask one too that's also filled with "i need to be right about this" type assholes.

Sad to say, there is still a lot of niche info on there. Aside from finding stuff via Google, I don't bother anymore.

That's not true at all. There's a distinct difference in effort between a person who left but opened the door to observe the dumpster fire and a person who goes back every day for content.

It's the people like OP who are killing reddit. Insulting them for going back to look at the damage is backwards.

op made me wanna check my Reddit notifications if i have any

As I stated in several other replies, I still use it because of a couple specific hardware and software help subs that haven't migrated anywhere. As long as the owners keep the subreddits as their only place for help for their product, then I'll have to keep using Reddit. That's also why I haven't deleted my account. I have help topics that people can find when searching for those devices or app. I'd hate to take those resources away just because Spez is a douche.

I'm on Bluesky, but literally nobody I follow on Twitter is. I'm all for Bluesky, but it needs more people to become successful. I enjoy it a lot, but it just needs mainstream attention first.

According to WP, Bluesky is in "invite-only beta".
