Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.
You're viewing a single thread.
Ah, yes, typical reddit addict having withdrawal syndrome.
Don't look back...
Is it withdrawal symptoms if I'm only curious out of spite?
Same, lol. I gave up reddit as soon as the protest started. Been on 4chan to pass the time, but lemmy has really picked up the last week.
Yes. You have to break away 100%. Cold turkey is a bitch!
Lol I wouldn't really call it a bitch, I haven't been on since they announced their plans. I just want any corporations to burn when possible
Lemmy is my new Reddit addiction. With Lemmy becoming more vibrant I’m missing Reddit less and less, though Lemmy still has a ways to go.
Getting better daily though.
Tbh this is filling that void. Think I checked reddit once since Apollo died
Never again.
Haha.
I find the best way to handle withdrawal is to change your habit. I spent time grabbing a few books, and spent a few days with my Kindle or with Foliate fullscreen on my HDTV.
So before, I'd probably spend time answering r/firefox, looking at r/firefoxcss - now I start with 1/2 hour reading Great Expectations. After reading a chapter, I play the same chapter via audiobook - meanwhile I have a couple of TV/Movie versions queued up to watch after finishing reading.
After that I'd probably get into some DadJokes - I can do that on https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes
Next up, an hour reading The Midnight Library
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !dadjokes@lemmy.world
Good bot
Hello!
May I ask why you are listening to the same chapter after reading it? :) Is it to retain the information or just to not miss anything? Do you do the same regardless if you're reading fiction or non-fiction?
They still make books? 😉
Most movies and tv shows are from books, and reading the book is 99.5% better.
Think of talking Bladerunner movie and doing it as a 30 minute short.
I’ll be honest I was having withdraws until I found out about memmy
Stay strong!
Oh I am lol. I just wanted something to browse during work and Memmy does just that
That's how it starts!
As much as I want to, I still gotta browse Reddit to get updates related to my niche.
Excuses, excuses.
i have relapsed for the past several days... mostly because my app (boost) has not yet been shut down.
i have been enjoying my fix, but I it does leave me feeling dirty.
As a fellow booster... You're a whore 😉. Hoping rmayayo really does put together a lemmy/fediverse app.
I'd LAUNCH the Rocket!
There's a registration up on the Play store to download it once it releases, and he did a pretty open announcement on the Boost for Reddit app.
I'd say somethings coming of it, at the very least.
Yeah, I'm in. Supposedly automatically downloading when available.
