I stopped using it when they banned third party apps and I couldn’t use Boost anymore. It didn’t seem like a huge loss considering how noticeable of a difference and loss of quality the front page had once all that went down. I still used it from time to time for insight on hobby related subjects, but I’m hoping that Lemmy grows enough for me to stop referring to reddit outright. I’m just happy I can support Boost again on here.

I’m using it for porn which Reddit doesn’t/can’t monetize, so basically I’m costing Reddit money while beating it. Win/win!

I just use it for the memes, so not really🤷‍♂️

For nice subjects, if you engage in any political and news , it will be problematic

I use it with throwaway e-mail, without any personal information on my account and only for some niche subjects that I can ony find there.

I sometimes have to use Reddit via web browser for search results on niche subjects. Feeling quite neutral about it.

I wish Lemmy could also be shown on search results too

Nah cuz the only thing I’ve been using it for since coming here, is advertising Lemmy.

I was permanently banned in June of last year for saying that I hope the Libs of TikTok woman would get hit by a bus. I still have my account, but I am unable to vote create or comment on anything so now I just use it to save NSFW material…

Yes. But, I’ve come to expect it. Though, if there is one thing I’m going to not do is provide content for Reddit.

I need it for gacha (or other mobile) games, some music bands, some leftover communities (linux related that haven’t moved for some reason) and other niche communities.

You might ask why I don’t make it myself… Eh, as long as I have no content to provide, I have no need for it, and I also don’t have time and freedom to do so.

I have ad blocker. I don’t comment. I don’t post. I only downvote. I only view my home feed. I only do all this on PC, and URL-blocked Reddit off my phone, significantly reducing the time I have to search.

But sometimes I just need to have the content there. I think I’ve done about the best I can considering.

I’ve already deleted my last account (I used to make a new one every other year or so) so I don’t comment or post anymore, but I use it to find info just about anything - I still add “reddit” at the end of my search (I use Startpage, it’s great). Old habbits die hard. I made my first reddit account in 2011. I don’t feel too bad about it. It is what it is.

i still use it but the app is a toilet and it’s annoying but no I don’t think im being unethical by using it because im not a goddamn moron

Wish ppl would post in both places if its niche, at least make some niche stuff seem less dead so ppl are less shy to post

Communities that seem dead here arent even dead, no one posts but it you are the first post in months youll still prob get comments and views

I’m not allowed to use reddit anymore after I stated that I would defend myself with a knife if attacked. Apparently that’s considered threatening violence…
