I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

    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

    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 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.

    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

    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…

    Nah, tried to delete my account and they wouldn’t let me, so I just uninstalled the app. I was on 250 of 300 streak. Fuck Reddit.

    Nobody should feel bad for using Reddit to deshittify Google searches. That’s just what has happened.

    I do look at r/opera sometimes because there’s no community here, but only once in a great while, and I do look at the monthly list that the ban pit bulls subreddit keeps of pitbull attacks/deaths, because it’s absolutely frightening every month how long if is.
