Used to browse Reddit daily. Once Reddit is Fun closed, I only go on to search for an answer.

Now it is Lemmy daily.

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 49 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yep, same. Multiple times daily, created posts, commented a lot.

Deleted all my accounts.

The way Spez and the admins treated Apollo's dev was more than enough for me to leave Reddit, and that's before the shit he said about the vulnerable users of his site (essentially seeing them as dollar signs - I know CEOs are scummy but holy fuck).

Open Lemmy, nothing new, close Lemmy. Open Lemmy again to check if something new. Nothing new.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

Live life, check back in six hours, all new.

Everything top six hours is the best.

... and I am starting to see user agent and VPN blocks now just within the last few days... It's officially over, so glad to be here. Been in the fediverse since the API shutdown. Bouncing between instances. First post on this one! Absolutely no regrets.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 34 points 11 months ago

Yeah I read they tried to play that off as an accident. You don't "accidentally" block VPN users. That just doesn't accidentally happen. They're obviously attempting to do it, just waiting to deploy it. The anonymous social network sure does seem like they want you to not be anonymous.

I am constantly amazed that anyone is still using that corporate dumpster fire of a website

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 64 points 11 months ago

"See you next week," one user smugly commented to me on my way out.

I haven't been back, and I haven't missed it.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The overwhelming smugness was the very thing that finally got me to leave lol

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

To be honest, they were right as often as they were wrong. Plenty of folks who proclaimed they’d never return to Reddit returned within the month. Some of the most outspoken were the quickest. I find the mods who returned particularly giggle-worthy.

[-] ThankYouVeryMuch@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

Lol I left with the APIcalypse, and I was an official app user, no regrets and never looked back. Why would anyone go to that shithole when you have the fediverse?

God... I can barely remember the time before the top comment threads of every goddamned post were always lazy strings of circle-jerky jokes that you could predict before even clicking into the thread.

[-] rckclmbr@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

I could barely remember too, then I took an arrow to the knee!

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 14 points 11 months ago

Something something narwhal bacon

[-] Metans@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

I too choose this narwhal's dead bacon

[-] vamputer@infosec.pub 12 points 11 months ago

Wow, epic! I rate this comment 5/7 with rice! You've won the internet for today, my friend! I'll pet my heckin chonky pupperino in your honor! You're breathtaking!

This is better than that time my arms were broken and my mom took care of me (don't worry, we're not from Alabama! LOL 😂)

I can't even open reddit on a phone nowadays, cause my preferred sub have 18+ posts and reddit don't let you access that if you not logged in. Also, there a notification, that I need to use shitty official mobile app. Also, there notification to login via google. Also, there a notification... Nope, I not using this shit ever again.

[-] rehydrate5503@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

For the occasional time where I’m troubleshooting something and Reddit has the only solution on an “unmoderated sub” or one with 18+ posts, I just change the “www” in the URL to “old”, and get the old, non mobile friendly UI. It lets you bypass the other app popups, etc. Sometimes when you go into a post you’re back in the new UI, and might get another pop up, but backing out or changing the url to “old” usually solves it in my experience.

[-] shuzuko@midwest.social 16 points 11 months ago

Firefox mobile now has a full suite of extensions, including old reddit redirect to bypass all that bs. It's the only way I access reddit anymore for answers/the last few niche communities that haven't been built up on lemmy yet.

Lmao they removed their somewhat unique award system with charm and replaced it with colored arrows

Fifty bucks? Are the bits made of gold?

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

It's only there to make the other ones look cheap.

Audacity aside, wtf is the difference between the $1.99 and 3.99 gold???

Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors

Very MTX-heavy mobile game aesthetic.

These arrows look like they were AI generated. "Make the arrow look more golden"

Hopefully the fact that they felt the need to do this means they're doing badly financially (and hopefully this doesn't help with that)

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 22 points 11 months ago

LMAO, imagine paying someone for content and then having a Reddit bot (or human) to copy it here for Lemmy.

Is this the new NFT lol?

[-] liquidparasyte@pawb.social 20 points 11 months ago

This has gotta be the stupidest (and honestly ugliest) alternative to Reddit awards.

Thanks for the crudely gold-colored-brass up vote, kind stranger.

[-] willya@lemmyf.uk 19 points 11 months ago

This entire screenshot looks horrible.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

Anyone remember Kai’s Power Tools for Photoshop? Those arrows certainly do.

Giving Gold supports the contributors you love

Is... is this implying the person who got gilded gets a cut? Huh?

Interesting how they never say how much real money gold and upvotes are worth to these contributors
