I understand this only because my husband still is looking at reddit. I had to have a talk with him as to why I am changing platforms, the point of not visiting a site during a protest, and how Lemmys and kbin need time to grow. He was looking at news and he said "well your site doesn't have anything! It's basically empty where am I supposed to go for discussion!"
I told him he needs to either just view the news sites directly and contribute, or just try to curb usage and allow the sites time to grow. Use your phones native news app for now, whatever it takes to not add to Reddits ad revenue and user count.
If this was reddit, you'd be smothered in replies asking why you haven't left your husband yet.
Red flags everywhere, you know I'd forgotten that was everyone's response on reddit!
I mean, there's a lot of content here already.
Yeah it's not the same endless dopamine drip feed conveyor belt that is Reddit, but there's plenty of content to engage with.
Which sure as hell isn't a bad thing!
I've been enjoying commenting and having a more social experience here rather than endlessly lurking :)
Leaving reddit has made me start looking at actual websites for content and then if I like it I bring it back here. Where in reddit everything was pretty much guaranteed to already been linked somewhere. I know if this community get big the same thing will happen. But for now I actually feel a part of the community instead of just passively experience the community.
My SO still uses it and I would rather he not but I'm still using technology created by slave labor and taking 1 hour long showers. Reddit is going to be there, it's not going anywhere, and they'll keep doing whatever they're doing but I'm here because it was a good excuse to leave and find somewhere else. Yeah they suck just like Walmart and spectrum and att and Coca-Cola and nestle and every single corporation. I'm not gonna start a fight over whose corporate addiction is worse though.
