When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.

Now that it's starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?

I am sure there's a significant survivorship bias to the responses you will be getting on this platform, but I really am glad to be off of Reddit.

It has allowed me to find other discussion platforms online (Lemmy) that feel more genuine somehow, at least for now (I don't question if I'm talking to a human or a bot/shill).

I've also spent more time just learning and doing stuff that I am sure would have been simply wasted in the endless scrolling in Apollo.
