Just started today, but as my reddit activity is going down to zero …. Yes lol

Considering I am totally inactive on Reddit now, yes.

I am more actif here than on reddit. There was a time on reddit I stopped even upvotes and down votes when I noticed they are changing philosophy. Here I post more stuff and wrote more comments. Sometimes to add value to discussions and sometimes just for the sake of commenting and getting activity rolling.

I'm not there yet, although I did a lot on Reddit

I'm a lot more active then I was on Reddit.

I was very active in the subs of the games I play (I'm even r/CSRRacing2 mod) when I started there, but I'm getting tired of the hate, stupidity,...

I'm not sure it matters more TBH... but I basically stopped Reddit for 2 days, and now just get drawn back to read the occasional post - but don't bother commenting.

With the downtick in Reddit, I remembered that I hadn't read a book for a month or two, so I headed over to Annies Archive and grabbed a bunch to add to my Kindle...

So I now downloaded 3 versions of 'Great Expectations' and am reading that book before watching them - but also have "Welcome to the MonkeyHouse" by Kurt Vonnegut and "The Book Thief" grabbed from Annie's Archive.

Basically now I'm spending less than half the time on net than I was before.

I think I'm about as active here as I was on Reddit. Always was more of a reader.

I certainly do! Reddit was just too loud in every way.

I have not touched reddit since this debacle... I added a bunch of subreddits to my RSS reader, but I'm honestly not looking at it.

Unfortunately searching for information often brings me to a reddit post, but I'm trying to avoid it and so far found the information elsewhere.

Honestly, I'm trying to be more active in here. The whole defederation thing going around has me confused about where my account lives and replicating what's on it. Makes it hard to stay active if I don't know what's going to happen haha

Oh for sure. It definitely seems like people are more level-headed over here, and are less likely to find the most nitpick-y thing to jump into an argument with you over.

(Which, to clarify, I don't mean someone correcting information I've posted - of course, if I've posted something incorrect I'd like to know - but even then, there is always a tactful way to go about doing so)

back to a level of activity i would call my "normal". hasn't been like this in almost a decade.

Yes, definitely. Maybe I feel like my contributions matter more since we are all trying to make this a viable platform? I dunno, but it's definitely more fun interacting here than on reddit.

Yes, I am significantly more active here than I was on Reddit (at least recently, my decline on posting/commenting on Reddit started a few years ago).

I've never been much of a poster (not even 2 posts/yr for the almost dozen years I've had a reddit habit), but I was a regular commenter in various specific-interest subs.

I am, as a rule, no longer contributing content to Reddit, since they've made it clear they plan to finish their transition from "hosting communities" to "extracting value from users." Frankly, it's not as much of an imposition as I feared, because many of those communities seem to be broadly taking the same attitude.

I'm actively trying to comment heavily here to to try to help establish communities. If I had a little more free time I'd do some posting and/or try to help spin some successor communities for my interests.

My level of activity on Reddit has been wanting. I was / am still fairly active in some niche subs, but I used to be pretty active in AskReddit, askmen, and several other spaces.

I've made a concerted effort to be more active here, and it feels nice! Feels a lot more human

Yes

Yes because:

1. I want to see it take off and want to do my bit
2. It feels like a more chilled environment in which to participate

I never posted on Reddit. Every time I did it was a bad time. I could post the most innocuous thing imaginable (The sky is blue. Water is wet), and without fail have at least a few people telling me I was stupid, naive, woke, a Nazi, whatever. There is a ton of extremist energy around here too, but the radical left is much easier for me to stomach than the radical right.

Only reason I visit reddit now is to see how the dumpster fire is going

1000%!

I actually created a community for a hobby of mine, and have been trying to post and comment more.
