"your're"

Hmmm...

A lot of the niche content I like is still on reddit, however I like the people and experience over here on Lemmy more.

Reddit isn’t as bad as Twitter. Though it’s heading that way. But there is an alternative that is 90% as good.

If you're still on Lemmy... Welcome! The more the merrier!

I'm only on reddit to bring people here. Because we do have cookies.

I use Twitter and reddit for porn, nothing else anymore. People/communities I follow are ghost towns elsewhere. Everytime I point this out, people get butthurt, yet none of them link to their porn profile.

Post the (adorable, lanky, femboy, who has glasses and a thick uncut cock) porn, and as the saying goes, 'they will cum'.

Or use Amazon (I'm guilty), or shop at Walmart (sometimes guilty, but not often), or shop at Target, use Tiktok, use Facebook (reunion coordination only - but still guilty, I guess), use PayPal (very guilty), use LinkdIn, use Google (guilty).

It's really difficult to live a modern life, without being guilty of using anything exploitative of something. Of course, all the things (and many more) mentioned above are made to make people reliant on them by design.

Amazon operated in the red for over 7 years, before turning any profit, often selling and shipping items for a lower cost than they purchased the items for. But after that 7 years, they'd driven much of their competition out of business. Now there are fewer choices with regard to finding some items, because Amazon drove everyone out of business. The cheaper prices on Amazon? Nothing like what they used to be - they don't have to compete.

How many small towns have Walmart as virtually the only place to shop and/or the only employer?

It's very important in our modern, separated society, for people to return to basics....get to know your neighbors, stick together, become friends, and help one another out. Reddit used to really drive me nuts, in the work-related subreddits, where everyone used to say, "Your co-workers are not your friends." I wondered if many people ever looked past that, to ask if that's how HR wants things. How do you ever achieve solidarity in the workplace, when you walk in with that attitude? I've certainly had my share of hated co-workers, but much more often, I have been friends with many of them. Co-workers are a great resource to vent, problem solve, find out what's going on behind the scenes, and if there are problems - a great co-worker can be honest and let me know if I might be the problem, or not.

But, separated and isolated within our own little tribes/families, too busy working too many hours, for too little money, trying to keep up with too many financial obligations, is exactly how they get us exactly where they want us.

Twitter got abandoned 1 month after the fascist bought it. Account deleted 6 months ago.

Reddit is on transition right now. I'm still checking it, but the time i spend there is much less, since i made a Lemmy account.

I just occasionally go back to shill for Lemmy. Pretty sure that hurts them more than helps. :D

Things i have stopped using- X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Lays, McDonalds, Burger King, Netflix, Walmart. Things where i have minimized consumption - Amazon, Best Buy, Steam, YouTube. Things where I am tied in and can't make a difference- Android, Windows, AWS, Gmail, Intel/AMD, MS Office (official productivity tools). Actually i don't mind going minimalistic to F over US companies.

I literally just got permabanned from Reddit after over 13 years and 200k karma! Lol

Look...I know we all hate reddit cause they kicked like half of us for no good reason but like....spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is

Then again....X is arguably still a better social media platform than reddit is...

Ok nevermind

If you’re still online…

I didn't even use Twitter before the nazi bought it

I actually said “bye Fash-licia” to Reddit last week. I thought about trying to get banned for something stupid, just for the story. But instead I just quietly deleted the account.

I'm trying OK! 😭

Well, I still wouldn't consider using Reddit to be near as bad as using Shitter.
