Why or why not and what do you use it for?
I’m there for r/Splatoon mostly. The splatoon community hasn’t really grown on the fediverse outside a few small mags and instances. There are a few other smaller communities I still follow there as well, but I barely touch r/all these days. It’s a husk of its former self, and I already get my news and updates on current events elsewhere.
I also spend time on Tildes as well as it’s a great place for nuanced discussion about specific topics. My overall goal is to have a variety of communities and platforms I can visit all throughout the internet like I did back in 2008, rather than be stuck on one platform.
Only to check if the data from my GDPR request is available yet.
I visit Reddit because it is kinder to Tor users with its old UI than other commercial sites and I felt that the measures taken by Reddit were rational. I was rather annoyed by the moderators who were closing the community. :(
By the way, I like kbin UI even more than Reddit’s old UI. Hey kbin, don’t you conquer the whole internet including fediverse? You can do it!
There are niche communities that haven’t migrated that I’m okay with using a crappy platform to stay in contact with. That being said I’ve been using teddit until I need to post.
What’s teddit? What’s the difference?
Teddit is an open source privacy focused read only front-end to public Reddit (like Nitter for Twitter) that ensures your browser never gives them a hit. Its styled like old.reddit and there an alternate called Libreddit that follows the new style. They directly hit Reddit instead of the API so they aren’t affected by the recent drama. You can also self host them if you want even more protection.
I still have mine and there are a few subreddits I still visit in particular for news on what happens in Iran and the state of the protests there. Same reason I still have a Twitter account
I’m mostly curious to see how things pan out for reddit, but there are still some communities on there that haven’t moved here or the fediverse yet so until they do I’ll just use old.reddit with adblocker because fuck spez
I go back to check on the status of a couple of communities every couple of days. Aside from the top 15-20 posts, everything else is still the same as a few days ago. There is hardly any new content hitting the subs I used to frequent. The place is stagnating fast…
I’m glad you said that, I noticed it myself but thought it might just be me, I’m seeing almost no new content on some of my subs but others are like nothing has happened.
You do not need a reddit account to view subs. I have deleted my reddit account a few years ago and could still access it via sync for reddit (until the api changes) and infinity.
I still browse r/wallstreetbets as I haven’t found a replaceable community here yet
Didn’t delete, but used a script to edit all of my comments with a link to kbin. Might as well use my account for good and help out with kbin’s SEO
I’m happy on Lemmy and not using Reddit for any of my actual browsing or posting.
I like to look once a day at what a mess r/all or the homepage (not logged in) has become, and report content that is not labelled correctly as nsfw or other problematic content that might cause issues… I mean, won’t someone think of the advertisers with their adverts sitting next to that stuff!
As more communities remove NSFW status, it just seems like the problem gets worse - almost like they are struggling to moderate content. How could this happen!
(More seriously, there is more actually objectionable stuff popping up on r/all because it is pulling from different subs now. I’ve seen more hate, racism etc. That genuinely should be reported if you go back and see it not only because there shouldn’t be a place for it, but also the approach Reddit has taken has had obvious detrimental effect to the content and the more reports the better.
I feel like Reddit must be in a bit of trouble as they are letting quality and control plummet and this is the first thing people see on the homepage when not logged in or on r/all.)
I have also repointed the sub I look after to encourage people to come here by linking itin the welcome message, side bar, and a pinned post.
I haven’t deleted my account but then I was a lurker so the account is not much to look at 🙃. I uninstalled my third party app (infinity). I have a self-hosted libreddit account and use that to anonymously watch the site burn with my large bucket of 🍿.
Doesn’t self-host reduces anonymity?
Only time I’ve been back is to check the Ukraine subreddit but I figured anything worth hearing about will be in the news so I stopped doing that.
I keep it for r/watchexchange. Nobody has written a sales moderator bot for Lenny/kbin, and I don’t even know if the apis are mature enough for someone to do that. So communities like that will probably stay with reddit until they can’t or the alternative is mature enough
I check r/onepiece because I want spoilers and theories. The last 3 years hasn’t had any theories anyways. If anyone knows of a community here where I can get spoilers and theories, please let me know
I’m waiting for some support subs to make it over.
