Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

Yeah, but like... I have a gf to have someone to converse with. This new gf of mine basically doesn't speak so I'm just sitting here watching the wallpapers in silence, whereas my ex, while crazy, was very talkative and entertaining.

Ok but your ex getting hooked on heroin and ending up in a prison morgue won't make your new gf any more interesting.

Yeah but if my current gf is just being silent I'm like.. girl why are we even dating? I'll keep dating her but damn. It's not a great relationship and I miss the crazy hoe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you miss her so bad, you can just go back. It's okay, really, I guess most people still go to both website. It's a website after all, don't see too much into it.

On my side I'm just reminded everytime I have to use RedReader to access Reddit on my phone that they really don't want me there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The thing is I can't. Because if I do I'll most likely inadvertently break up with my new gf, and I really do want her to succeed in life and for us to get married at some point. I'll give her some more time.

I basically never used Reddit on my phone and on the computer it's always old.reddit + RES. Also a reason why Lemmy feels a bit gnnnnh. Navigating without keyboard shortcuts is a paaaain.

Yeah I found that script thing a couple of days ago but I don't have Greasemonkey or anything like that and I don't think I want to. But I might have to. We'll see. The other one I saw a while back but didn't see a major usecase for me personally. But thanks for reminding me since I am way more miffed about the shortcuts now than I was then and I forgot all about that script thing.

Alright, happy to help!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's a great way to think of it.
