Yup. Stuck to my guns for over a year, and Lemmy didnt grow like I thought it would. Started using Reddit more regularly again in September.
Now, I do still only use it in the browser, no app, so my usage of Lemmy still far surpasses Reddit.
But there are some communities that either never made the migration or faced active hostility, so, gotta go to Reddit to be a part of them π€·ββοΈ.
Not unless I need to get some info from a niche country sub that barely exists on lemmy
And even then no login, read only.
Much prefer messing around here. I only just got my first ban from NCD because I said the US would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO which kind of made me look like a Russian shill which I assume is the #1 spam NCD receives.
Otherwise I have really enjoyed being able to share my opinion without getting admin/mod banned, even on communities and instances with a lopsided set of users.
I have pissed off both ml and world users which is funny because they each claimed I was from the opposite instance. But no such thing as shadowban or user nuking. I can actually discuss things here in detail, as well as receive quality posts from all of you :)
Ahh yes, the old classic: being in the neutral position between the two extremes.
I have the same problem in real life, but with the left/right crowd. I'll get called one or the other until people clock me for what I am and then make fun of me by calling me an "enlightened centerist."
It's always weird when you trigger a .ml user in particular though, because they become very aggressive or very "principaled" very quickly. A .world user is usually a little more metered, and just regular internet-brand angry, on average.
I was banned, so I cannot.
I end up there sometimes but I don't seek it out anymore. I don't have the app on my phone.
I'm using both Boost apps, Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. This way, I can only differentiate the networks by their post quality.
Reddit is bad to mediocre, full of memes and karma farming
Lemmy has few posts, but feels closer to the user
I don't. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.
I download it every now and then. But usually I end up deleting it because of the sheer amount of propaganda and advertising. Like give me peopleβs ideas, not some idiot whoβs famous because he did X and Y.
Not really. Sometimes I'm there from search results but never logged in. Rif was reddit for me.
i only use it when attempting to lure people to the 'verse from that terrible, bot-ridden cesspool
I lurk in my cityβs subreddit. It briefly closed as part of the protests, but the Lemmy community that was created at the time is inactive.
I've only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I'd last long enough until I'm shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.
I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they'd re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.
It's only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.
Occasionally I'll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.
I go there to steal content for Lemmy, but rarely post unless its to bring attention to an important cause.
Not often. Mostly because the official app is so unbearably trash.
I use it for a couple of communities specifically for foreigners living in Japan as it's a great source of info from people who've been here longer than I have or have dealt with situations I have not. It's also useful for info on dealing with the obscenity that being an American citizen trying to invest for retirement while overseas brings (I can't use the ISA here or other tax-advantaged things because the US government considers them all PFICs which removes any tax advantage and causes even more pain after that).
Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven't found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.
I'll log in every once in a while to check my pins, and I'll read threads from web searches, but I don't at all scroll a feed or post. I never looked back after the blackout shutdown.
Using reddit on PC and lemmy on mobile since the reddit app sucks
