How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

I am doing just fine without Reddit. If every social media site disappeared tomorrow (including Lemmy sites), I would go on living feeling just fine. Because I was alive before the internet growth in the 90s, before cell phones, during a time when pay phones and rotary phones existed, and got along quite well.

We don’t need these stupid sites. No offense intended here, but if a person is so addicted to a website, especially a social media site, that they feel FOMO after leaving it, they need to reevaluate their priorities in life.

And note: I created my Reddit account in May, 2008. I eagerly deleted my 15-year account in July, 2023 and have never looked back. And for all the bullshit he did to Christian Selig and others, fuck Spez, in perpetuity.
