I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I scrubbed all my Reddit post and comment data just before the blackout then, after the admins started doing their stupid shit and booting mods out of subs so they could open them again, deleted my account entirely.
I’ve now blackholed all of Reddit’s domains on my Pi-hole servers and added a regex to exclude the same domains from any search results on my Whoogle instance.
Spez can get fucked. Not one more bit of data from me to Reddit.
I’m now working on getting my own Lemmy instance up and running for my close circle of friends/family that are interested in also making a break.
