I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
Havnt checked so honestly wouldn’t know. Now that I think of it, it’s kind of crazy that Kbin replaced it so easily for me and I am on it far less (which is a good thing tbh).
It’s also testament to how good the experience here has been so far. And how crap reddits response as been.
Yeah I just joined like literally 15 seconds ago and I can already tell this is the place for me, still getting acclimated but it’s great so far
Bro I swear I have been going through a lightweight meltdown after quitting Reddit cold turkey. I’m glad I found this place.
It really wasn’t giving me anything other than a few cool random factoids a day and a lot of distraction. Those were really the only positives any more.
I can already tell that my overall mental health is getting better (you know with some rough patches of course). I’m reading and working on projects again. I accidentally beat the new Zelda game halfway through the game.
On another hand I’m actually sleeping properly… I’m reading real news during lunch, learning Spanish.
Reddit was fucking sucking my soul up or something. I guess it was just such an easy time sink to turn to that I never really got anything done anymore. It feels kinda creepy reflecting back. You’re giving them subscriptions and all that so that they can dark pattern you into sticking around.
Thats what makes this place special. For now it’s just social and people talking with people. Until the advertisers figure this out I’m gonna really enjoy it.
