My reddit account is almost 18 years old so I know that you’re talking about. I came to lemmy at the time of the API change as well, but I stayed on reddit too. I’m not giving them any revenue: I use old.reddit and RES, so I don’t see and ads.
But blocking subs, as much as I also did that until I hit the limit of 100 blocked subs, is the wrong approach. Instead, you sub to the ones you like and avoid /r/all.
Yes, that’s probably it. You and others had some bad experience there and fled reddit, and now your opinions are based on that bad experience instead of reality. I’m on both. I’m both lemmy and reddit you create your own experience. If you failed to do that, I’m not surprised you didn’t like it.
People in this thread are perfect examples of that. They hate reddit so much they have to talk shit about it, regardless of reality.
What the fuck are you people on about? Have you been on reddit? Go look at r/all right now, or any other time. You have to go to r/conservative to find magats, and even there you’ll find skeptical sentiments.
Redditors all hate the other social media platforms.
What other examples of bullshit can you give us?
I have talked to product people in large Internet companies and you’d be shocked to learn that they think what they’re doing (maximizing engagement and using dark patterns) is not only fine, but that they’re not doing enough. These are not good people.
