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.
I’ve been there a few times doing research for building a new PC. Other than that I’ve kept away and don’t really miss it. Unfortunately I’ll probably need to go back there for other types of research because it’s a huge repository of information now and is the fastest way to find such things. But the moment I have the info I needed I leave.
