In truth if I’m being honest with myself, most posts, even in my beloved communities, were just turning into 90% bot ads; it’s gotten more and more obvious over time and I was ignoring it for so long but Reddit really is a husk if what it was and kinda has been for awhile. As a 12 year user, it’s hard to leave it behind but I’m slowly learning whatever the fuck all this is. Godspeed to everyone here!

It's really, really smart that it looks like Reddit in terms of page layout. It satisfies the brain that likes its patterns and routines. I even put my favorite Lemmy app right where I used to launch from to satisfy the muscle memory. I really hope this sticks.

Same here. I lurked during the blackout, participated on reddit once business went back, and now I have yet to open it on my laptop browser

Ditto, I said at the time, people are lazy including myself and I wasn't going to leave my account for a 2 day protest, spez was right when he said it would blow over. But once RIF stopped working, well guess what I'm also to lazy to download and navigate their shitty app, so here I am wefwef isn't perfect, preferred rif, but at least it's not bloated.

Same!

Same here for the most part. I still browse reddit on my pc occasionally. I used sync for a long time. When they killed 3rd party apps I couldn't bring myself to download the Shit reddit app. Lemmy has replaced reddit on mobile for me. I did 90% of my reddit browsing on mobile, so it's significantly reduced my time there.
