And yet, after three months you still think about it.

I do look on Reddit sometimes, there are niche communities that don't exist in that form in the fediverse and it would be quite hard to just ignore the existence of that site, especially when wanting to look up certain information. I did successfully stop participating though.

    Never use "how" and "like" in the same sentence that way. Use "What it feels like" or "How it feels".

    Because it's redundant. The word "how" already contains the idea that you're speaking about the "quality" of the thing you're showing. Quality in the original sense of the word, meaning "the distinctive character of something".

    The word "like" is used to express that you're comparing one thing to another in ragards to the distinctive characater of the other thing, but you've already established you're doing that with the word "how".

    For me, the early days of my time on Lemmy highlighted what I'd been missing from Reddit: quality discussions light on dog-piling, circle jerking, and holier-than-thou partisan clique bullshit.

    These have all come to Lemmy in force with the migration, so now I'm plenty happy on either platform with a "block early, block often" strategy. It ends up just as low-stress.

    I got to say I'm weak and still go there 50% of the time. But my app is still working charge free so that I can still avoid deleting it. I think shifting participation to Lemmy is the long run goal. I'm on my way.

    I'm not up to 50% (maybe my app being toast is part of that) but I do still visit more than I'd like. I've pretty much accepted at this point that it's the only place for certain niche discussion. I went cold turkey on participation, though. I can't help Reddit die if I'm still putting content on it (and I have full ad-blocking and domain-level JS blocking to keep ads away).

    That feeling but also the AA feeling of being of the edge of falling back into it at any moment.

    Been the until Infiniti worked. To be honest, Lemmy isn't that comfy and I don't really see what is interested in...

    I do feel a little bit superior since I’m using Lemmy, especially when I meet some I-don-t-give-a-shit Reddit user but the feeling I got most is happiness.

    This meme needs LE happy kitty/doggo.
