Fediverse

Have not touched my Reddit account since June 30th 0:00

First time poster. I'm on lemmy.world but found not many of my channels like I have on Reddit. How you all find your niche subs that are bigger than 30 people?

Check out Mastodon for the Twitter alternative - it's great. I'm really glad I made the jump.

Twitter has become a toxic cesspit even before musks takeover. He just made things far worse to the point where it's basically just attempted doxing and permanent ad-hominem barrages. It's not worth any time.

Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect... ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.

Welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Those corpo media sites are now a fading memory for me.

Been on Twitter (with Tweetbot) & Reddit (with Apollo) for 10+ years. I kept to my follow list and subreddits and really did not see a lot of the toxicity that everyone talks about. I think that is largely because 1) I was using third party apps and wasn’t getting any adds or suggested posts, and 2) I was mostly lurking and didn’t have a lot of posts or comments. I did find in Reddit that some comments would get harsh responses, but mostly I would get useful answers to questions.

Now using Mastodon and Lemmy/WefWef. Generally, like the experience with some issues with Lemmy in particular. Main issue right now: I hate having to scroll through read posts every time I open Lemmy or an app.

I would like to do the same. That Reddit app I hate detest, however I'm not exactly seeing anything amazing so far with this ui, but I just started so I don't know much about this yet

welcome! enjoy your time on the fediverse! personally i found fedi back in '19 but the latest stuff with reddit re-sparked my interest and got me into using lemmy

I deleted my Reddit account on July 1st as well. Their distain for the people that provide them free labor was disgusting.

I still use Twitter occasionally, not as much as before, even because I lost interest in many topics I followed before.

I almost cut out Reddit too, since 3th party apps still work at the moment, but when that moment comes I will drop it without any doubts.

Ah, almost forgot, welcome to Lemmy. :)

I deactivated my 15 year old Twitter account this weekend.

Then I deleted all my Reddit posts.

Then I created a new email account and I'm migrating off of Google.

I guess I should go check out Nebula or something next, and try out PeerTube.

I left Twitter like half a year before the whole Elon Musk stuff, and I stopped using Reddit on the day the blackout protests started. I haven't deleted the accounts though.

Me too

Deleted my Twitter account a month ago and Reddit just committed suicide. I'm good with it.
