With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I'm wondering if any of you went back to the platform.

Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Generally no. R/ sysadmin is very helpful; but I usually end up there from a search rather than browsing reddit

[-] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

I don't. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.

I spend most of my time on Lemmy but when I'm on a desktop I'll check reddit occasionally. I refuse to interact at all though

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Not really. Sometimes I'm there from search results but never logged in. Rif was reddit for me.

[-] doc@fedia.io 1 points 11 hours ago

Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven't found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.

Not really. I left in support of the mod strike/blackout and I stayed away because of Spez’ total bullshit WRT the API.

Sometimes Reddit is still the best place to get or find an answer. As long as old.reddit.com remains functional, I will go and participate while engaging with a question I post.

I was a pretty big contributor before, too. Not like recognizable username big, but big enough to get an IPO invite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I'd last long enough until I'm shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.

I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they'd re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.

It's only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.

I didn't visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.

[-] burgersc12@mander.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

Occasionally I'll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 13 hours ago

i only use it when attempting to lure people to the 'verse from that terrible, bot-ridden cesspool
