        Cant just live without them and start them up elsewhere? Reach out to the handul of peoole you would go to the effort of DMing to invite them to a signal chat or something to not lose touch?

        There are too many people who cry about people not doing enough who themselves cant make the smallest sacrifice or inconvenience.

      Because you reach 10-1000 times as many people. As one can also see in the picture of the post (well, you don’t see the number of views, but it’s likely in the same range as likes and comments are).

      It sucks and I hate reddit. But how else can you reach the people that are not on the fediverse?

    • I like to browse r/AsianAmerican r/AsianParentStories and r/AzIdentity (I have a comm here for The Asian Diaspora but its semi-dead lol)

      Also r/SpyxFamily because I like to search about fan theories and discussions and stuff

      And also like a lot of TV show discussions

      Media recommendations…

      Use Tor or VPN and never logged in cuz I don’t feel like using my real IP for stuff and they instant ban accounts using any sort of proxy so I don’t bother with an account.

      Also like r/Cantonese sometimes

      Really Lemmy is only politics and r/AskLemmy unfortunately

      sometimes you get a Casual Conversation… but not often.

      So yea…

      Fuck reddit

      But why the fuck is everyone on there?

        Oh a good day I think I’m participating to grow this place so it can one day be a viable Reddit alternative. I was a person who built Reddit over years and hundreds of thousands of comments.

        On a bad day, I think I’m just trying to get dopamine hits from an incredibly toxic echo chamber.

        “Things are fucked and reddit is bad, but i like things”. Thats what that sounds like.

        They literally have ads for the modern day american gestapo, but your willingness to resist against it is limited by your desire to read… Fan theories…
