People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?
I have noticed that I’m very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.
This is pretty much in all subreddits I’m active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.
Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can’t call what is on Reddit content anymore.
I still look at reddit sometimes on my computer. But I just never installed their app on my phone.
Reddit… really sucks now. Idk if it has gotten way more reactionary or if I’m just more aware of it. Tons of chuds, recycled posts, tons of astroturfing, bad comment sections. I don’t miss it in its current state.
I think there has been a significant algorithm change. When I click on the hot tab on old Reddit it appears a little more like it used to. Although it doesn’t explain everything.
the APP is the one thing reddit wants you to be on, they can datamine you more effectively. they have been doing everything they can to force people on the phone to use the app. login popups, partially disabling old reddit, forcing the page refresh if you try to backspace.
