I haven't been back. Once Baconreader went dark it's been all fediverse all the time.

I still open baconreader once in a while out of habit.

There's a little message about "hey sorry but reddit fucked us", then I remember there is no reddit anymore and I wander off :)

I've been minimizing my use as much as possible. I haven't quit completely because there's still a few communities I want to keep up with that aren't moving to any other platforms yet. Some of them are too small to care, or too large to viably move to another site without fracturing the community.

me neither, but we're probably the minority.
