This is honestly probably for the best. It’s a really bad idea that we’ve let reddit monopolize niche knowledge

      Since Relay is still working right now I check back once or twice a day.

      After being on Kbin for the last couple weeks, it’s amazing to me how shitty and toxic Reddit feels in comparison now. I’m basically only going there to check a couple niche subs, then bounce.

      I’m also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.

        And therefore I presume getting down-voted. It’s not enough that you are offering a helpful alternative, they want to not only be happy miserable in their chosen place, but for all other places to not be allowed to exist either. :-(

          Maybe it’s because I ejected the default subs out of my list a long time ago, but I haven’t gotten downvotes for it at all

            r/RedditAlternatives was definitely filling up with quite the drama, but I’m glad that you managed to avoid it!:-)

        I got real lucky. I have google earth as my new tab page and would click the home button to get to reddit. Me leaving reddit coincided with firefox removing the home button.

      Welcome to the club! I left reddit with the first blackout and haven’t used it since. It’s been easier than I rhought so I don’t plan on ever returning.
