    It’s difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I’m perfectly happy with Lemmy.

      It’s been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I’m getting there.

        Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.

        I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.

      Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.

      “I kicked a puppy. AITA?”

      “Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”

      “What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”

        The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…

      The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it’s only uphill from here
