Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

I've been on the fence about wiping my account as well. It's just hard for me - my history, wholesome interaction with users, friends made, how many people I've helped, I've written a few guides. Man it just sucks. (the largest guide I've written, for Vindictus, is partially outdated, but also I put in sooooooo much effort into it and I'm really proud of it. maybe I'll download and save as a .doc or something)

I think I just need to hear someone's stance on it, hear their points, and be persuaded

I also need to figure out -when- to do that if I end up doing it. I assume before the 30th, but I'm not sure if some have started doing it already, and why

It's not worth continuing to bring attention to Reddit as a platform when we can export the meaningful stuff and host it elsewhere that actually values the community itself rather than the monetary income that the users could provide.
