Because I refuse to install the Reddit official app.

    My favorite Reddit app was killed (RIF), but I stumbled into Red Reader. For some reason Reddit still allowed it to continue. It's not bad.

    I felt like I wanted to be part of the solution by stopping my usage of reddit. I didn’t want to continue to support a site I fundamentally disagree with on how they handled their monetization strategy by screwing over so many people.

    At this point, I no longer doom scroll reddit or even lemmy and it feels good to not waste my time doing so.

    Hmm, I was curious about this so I looked:

    It has been agreed that RedReader falls under the exemption for non-commercial accessibility-focused apps, due to the work that has been done to optimize the app for screen readers, and the app's high level of usage within the blind community.

    To help people realize that neoliberal capitalism is causing climate change and must be replaced with a planned economy to lessen the impact when society inevitably collapses.

    Two types of people in this post:

    • Those answering "Why are you on Lemmy and not doing something productive", and
    • those answering "Why are you on Lemmy and not Reddit"

    I'm shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.

    (Shy probably isn't the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won't initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)

    I came here because of the reddit strike. I am one of those idiots that used the official app anyway but i did not like the way they handled the change. I changed to lemmy and after a couple of days I deleted my reddit account. I actually don`t remember when I had this much fun exploring a part of the internet. I just love the community. Sure there could be more content and especially discussion in the comments but I take the slower content generation over the toxic cesspool most large online communities have become any day of the week.

    Reddit refugee. After Spez spazzed out, and I couldn't use Sync anymore, I was gone.

    As for this second? Same reason everyone is here. On a break looking at a phone.

    EDIT

    Also, my first post! Also, fuck /u/spez

    Because fuck spez that’s why. Deleted my 10+ year old mod account back when they killed Apollo. Haven’t been back (and don’t plan to either).

    Reddit killed my app 😭

    Looking at Lemmy so far I see no reason to return to Reddit, especially with them monetising karma and whatever that crypto thing is they introduced

    You mean at the very moment? I'm waiting for my gf to come to sleep. In general? Boycotting Reddit and I still like to get my news curated

    Because Reddit got boring af. And annoying. Spambots everywhere because of API shutdown.

    Fediverse is a healthy alternative I don't need to feel bad about. I feel shameful and don't want to talk about it when I use Reddit, which I stopped using anyways.

    Same reason I was on Reddit at work before. I’m taking a dump and need something to do. And now my bowel movements are free of corporate interests

    Reading leftist memes and LGBTQIA+ basic tips for like daily life. Oh and the Autism/ADHD community tips, too. I'm pretty burnt out on commenting on news posts, and hope to make more original posts around culture and tech stuff.

    Trying to reinvigorate !superbowl@lemmy.world and !anime@lemmy.ml .

    SuperbOwl migrated from Reddit but nobody was doing anything with it. I try to post at least one owl a day. Currently I'm posting one owl rescue a day for each US state so people can visit and support them in person. Today is #11, Hawaii.

    Anime communities seem so dead in Lemmy. There was finally an active thread last weekend, so I wanted to try to start another one this weekend.

    As in right now? Sitting outside in the city center on a Friday night watching people having fun with friends and trying to feel the same vicariously through them.

    Don't want to appear staring so I'm typing on my phone.
