It simply has more influence and accumulated data so that people still use it. But Reddit’s policies force more and more people to simply abstain from using Reddit as a chatting platform and only to look for useful info in it. Moreover, you don’t even need an account to watch non-NSFW things.
I did for a while after getting banned. Later though, there was so little value going there it was mostly just habit. Now I barely spend a minute scrolling headlines just for game news and I’m out. It really is a worthless waste of space at this point. If anyone is like I was, just scrolling with no joy, go play a game. Watch a video. Read a book. As a last resort, go outside. Anything is better than scrolling that shit hole. If you’re so dopamined you can’t experience joy from anything but social media, start by not bringing your phone to the bathroom and do a couple jumping jacks. You’ll be a lot happier with the ability to enjoy things with actual substance.
Im still going back mainly for a couple niche communities. Like Project Diablo 2, whos main community is its sub (it was developed off a reddit run Diablo 2 server slash diablo)
Pretty much that, magic the gathering and porn are all i look at redit for.
Only thing I really miss posting on besides those that I haven’t found a replacement for here is the shityask science/ history / a lawyer etc subs. Those were fun.
i have two people on my enemies list (i cannot believe i would ever have an enemies list but here we are). the first person i ever had to put on it died last week! they were convinced i was going to die twenty years ago and tried to convince me i was going to die twenty years ago so give up and leave all my miniscule property to their cult. i have a trip in june planned to dance on their grave.
edit: oh right! there was a point to that. i swung by reddit yesterday on a whim and wouldn’t have found out they died unless i had. so like, there is some small value.
I’m coming up to 3 years on here. Surprised people still give a crap about Reddit.

I give a crap about the lost content. finding tech support just isn’t the same now
Been here since the API exodus. I’m glad the days of reddit bickering are over
Have you considered some Lemmy bickering? /j
People care about Marvel movies and Taylor Swift. There is nothing wrong with either, it’s just a form of entertainment at this point.
They have more content. I spent barely any time there but I still rather type search query Reddit rather than Lemmy. And I have 2 communities for RSS.
Reddthat…

But… how will I poop?
I’m still amused to hear about their drama every now and then.
Lemmy is all AI propaganda
Are you AI?
