Whatcha up to this blackout eve? How are you spending it? Anything you’ve made more time for? Do any of you feel antsy? Lmk! :)
Trying to figure out Lemmy. It’s not easy…
Also, replying to users who keep requesting access to our blacked out sub.
I feel like Reddit is a big basket of candy and goodies and I’m just sitting here staring at it telling myself not to touch. I’ve spent the time away by listening to podcasts and spending more time outside gardening and reading actual books and not a screen. It’s really rewarding and freeing, but I miss interacting with a community so I’m glad to have been directed to Lemmy.
I spent it hunting down a reddit alternative and browsing on lemmy.
I’m not going back. Reddit will go downhill gradually as it tries to squeeze out value at the expense of the community, and that’s not something I’m going to support it any way.
I think you’re going to find a little bit of a sampling bias asking that question here.
Wasting my life on Lemmy instead.
The only valid answer!
Yeah I thought about trying to better myself like learn to bake a soufflé, read a book, workout but then I just go to Lemmy
Well, Lemmy, of course! Also, discovering new sites at https://cloudhiker.net/explore, some Plex maintenance and even a little bit of baking!
I still opened RedReader by reflex a couple of times, but I closed immediately. So far, I don’t miss reddit at all. I have been pleasantly surprised by how welcoming this community has been, thank you everyone!
Gardening. The weather is starting to warm up to summer temps so I have been going at it. Honestly, I’m not missing Reddit all that much and I don’t see myself using it much in the future regardless of what they end up doing.
It’s been raining in my historically rarely rainy city for the past two weeks and all I want to do is garden. My poor basil is just yellowing from how much water it has gotten and how little sun.
Definitely agree on not going back, I think I’m only missing 1 or 2 niche communities that haven’t migrated yet but I’m still hopeful
I’m currently banned anyways. And I don’t really miss it, to be honest.
What caused you to be banned?
I made a comment in a not serious subreddit about how I’d deal with certain people not respecting some specific rules local to my hometown. The comment was clearly camped-up and exaggerated for the comedic effect and fitted perfectly into the comments thread of that post.
