I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else? (beehaw.org)

Just realized that the other day.

I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, "I'm here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn't responding in any meaningful way to the community's requests" and now I think I'll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.

It's different here, but it hasn't been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.

Yup, not been on Reddit since the 11th either. I thought I'd miss it more after using it for 10+ years, but I really don't. Feels good to ditch it honestly, it wasn't great for my mental health. Seeing 1000 articles about how depressing life in America is becoming (I'm from EU) and all the bad shit going on in the world took a bit of a toll. It feels especially good to cut out toxic garbage corpos out of my life. I dropped twitter when Melon man took over like many others, and YouTube will probably be the next to go when I figure out how to engage with some of my favourite creators on there. I've been enjoying reading books and spending time in nature a lot more since I don't feel the compulsive need to consume content as much anymore.
