I posted a few weeks ago about how I didn’t feel like quitting reddit just yet. and, honestly, I still have a hard time not opening my phone every five minutes to check it.
but I decided to quit because I realized how much of a negative echo chamber it was. I couldn’t even mute certain words on the reddit app so I had to keep seeing the same shit over and over again in the popular feed.
it’ll be a long road moving from one platform to another, but I’m pretty satisfied not being strangled by reddit’s overwhelming snark and negativity.
dunno if anyone here feels a similar way, but felt like sharing my thoughts.
First comment here, doesn’t look like my third party app is working anymore. I really liked it compared to the default Reddit app
Boost?
Mine too, Thankfully there’s a Boost for Lemmy that I like using.
I stopped contributing to reddit after the API shit, but still lurked and saved links. Now I don’t use it at all, exported my saved links so I can figure out how to curate them.
