Nope, enjoying kbin way more than reddit so far. Even if this doesn’t work out I think I might have kicked my reddit habit!
I agree with you, don’t know why but it just feels better.
It feels better to me because I can post this, walk away, come back, and not find myself downvoted into obscurity - just for joining a conversation. This could change, but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
That’s the love I’m talking about. I went on reddit after being here, and my comments were autobanned, shadow blocked, or downvoted even though I put thought into them. On reddit I dread karma points because so many subreddits used it as a means to measure my value. Here - I wrote comments across the fediverse, closed my eyes and waited to get beat with sticks - and when that didn’t happen, I realized - the emotional trauma of reddit is real. I don’t even talk much on reddit because I’m afraid of speaking - but here it feels different. I just can’t go back to that.
Yep same, that is why I left , I’ve been looking for something to scratch the old Reddit itch, as fed up of “waiting to see why I am wrong” this to me is not about API (although the worry of poor moderation I support) it is mainly been looking to leave and this is the excuse.
It’s got a better design. it flows more easily, i guess I’m saying.
I’ve realized how much I just mind numbingly would open reddit for no reason at all.
It was rough the first days but I’m amazed how much more time I have now since I kicked that habit.
He’ll send a fully armed bot-army to remind you of his love
reddit.com, redd.it, redditmedia.com, and redditinc.com were added to the Pi-Hole blacklist last night, so I can’t open it on any device on my network.
I have no intention to ever go back to reddit, I’m quite happy with both lemmy and kbin. Just like I have no intention to ever go back to twitter, mastodon and akkoma (I’m yet to try calckey) having replaced it for me completely.
I left almost all centralised social media behind, except tumblr (which has a similar culture to the fediverse) and youtube.
Over just the last couple of days, kbin has gotten so much better, I honestly haven’t even thought about checking that other site what’s it called? r-something? Can’t remember
Rabbit. I think the word you’re looking for is rabbit.
Yeah that must be it, always making subrabbits
At this point I am going into Reddit to figure out which of my subscriptions I want to find a different way to access. So either I am finding a similar magazine in kbin or I’m moving the source to my RSS aggregator (Feedly).
Interestingly, as I bounce in to do a look/see, I’m seeing a whole lot less interesting content. So the moderator “revolt” is having a big effect for me.
Eat shit Reddit.
