    I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

    That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

    I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

      I remember joining reddit a few years back, and it was on the cusp of when it became a cesspool. I wouldn’t post often (Maybe twice a month), but every time the engagement became less and less useful. Kind like how stack overflow users can never actually give you a helpful answer, they only link to other vaguely related ones, Reddit became “Oh, it’s because x and y” to “Oh god you’re so fucking stupid it’s obviously Z”.

      And I just kinda dipped out to lurking on twitter, and then twitter became so god awful that I can’t even open the app without feeling like humanity lost its way.

      Anyways other than that Kbin has been doing me justice. I’ve never been more active on any other platform.

    Still trying to get head around kbin vs lemmy vs Mastodon and the interoperability therein. It’s starting to click. (Intellectually I get it, but from a workflow perspective it’s taking time, as there are too many ways to go about it. The tryanny of choice, etc…)

    So. Likely. Yes.

    It comes down to the UX. I use BaconReader for reddit, and since that’s going away I might as well find something else. I don’t think kbin/lemmy/Mastodon are there yet as far as UI is concerned, but it’ll come. (FWIW the twitter app is, for me, not half bad - it’s workable - but I’m gradually weaning off it for more obvious reasons).

    I’ve switched to Kbin.

    Absolutely. I’m on a few instances with different moods/themes, and I toggle between them depending on what I am interested in at the moment (sciences, programming and tech, …).

    It has already entirely replaced Reddit for me. It’s much nicer here.
