Title
Because I refuse to install the Reddit official app.
Ditto
My favorite Reddit app was killed (RIF), but I stumbled into Red Reader. For some reason Reddit still allowed it to continue. It’s not bad.
I felt like I wanted to be part of the solution by stopping my usage of reddit. I didn’t want to continue to support a site I fundamentally disagree with on how they handled their monetization strategy by screwing over so many people.
At this point, I no longer doom scroll reddit or even lemmy and it feels good to not waste my time doing so.
Same.
I actually feel that my stubbornness has made my life better in this case.
I’ve been to Reddit since, but I no longer feel the need to scroll it. I just use it when I went to find a genuine human recommendation on a topic.
There is still a certain excellence to the model of how interaction works for how I enjoy consuming online conversations. It reminds me of a better old school forum experience.
I do still use reddit when I find search results for things I want to know, especially where reddit was the biggest community for some topics but I usually end up there from search engines.
Hmm, I was curious about this so I looked:
It has been agreed that RedReader falls under the exemption for non-commercial accessibility-focused apps, due to the work that has been done to optimize the app for screen readers, and the app’s high level of usage within the blind community.
Revanced baby. If you get the urge to use rif again.
To help people realize that neoliberal capitalism is causing climate change and must be replaced with a planned economy to lessen the impact when society inevitably collapses.
U ok bro?
Yes. I’m fine. I accepted this reality a while ago. I still have periods of denial and frustration, but absurdist philosophy helps. I’m just here to help others with their journey, if I can.

Absurdism is Nihilism, but finding the humor in it. sorse. Albert Camus is a saint.
“Albert Camus is a saint.”
Amen.
Everyone here has already reached that conclusion or they’d be on corporate social media. You must be doing a bang up job! Thank you for your service
This allows me to vent about our situation. I prefer humor to doomerism. I’m actually quite optimistic about the future. We have the opportunity to evolve our interpersonal relationships and develop a world based on sharing and not selfishness. I’m confident we will succeed. The dystopian vision that is displayed in media is designed to make us hopeless and maintain the status quo.
Were prehistoric animals neoliberal capitalists? Because a lot of them died due to climate change.
One thing that hasn’t changed from Reddit is the naive politics of all sides. Depressing.
Your comment proves your thesis. This isn’t political, it is scientific. The science is settled with empirical evidence. To think otherwise is naive.
I’m bored.
Why are you on Lemmy
Reddit refugee.
right now?
Shittin’
Same. Same.
Toilet break
I’m shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.
(Shy probably isn’t the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won’t initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)

Pooping.
Poop gang unite!
Two types of people in this post:
- Those answering “Why are you on Lemmy and not doing something productive”, and
- those answering “Why are you on Lemmy and not Reddit”
You forgot yourself. It’s three
Because fuck spez that’s why. Deleted my 10+ year old mod account back when they killed Apollo. Haven’t been back (and don’t plan to either).
Fuck spez
I came here because of the reddit strike. I am one of those idiots that used the official app anyway but i did not like the way they handled the change. I changed to lemmy and after a couple of days I deleted my reddit account. I actually don`t remember when I had this much fun exploring a part of the internet. I just love the community. Sure there could be more content and especially discussion in the comments but I take the slower content generation over the toxic cesspool most large online communities have become any day of the week.
Morning routine.
Standard issue poop break
But is the poop standard?
Asking the real questions.
Military issue poop explode
Procrastinating on work, as usual.
Here, here.
