I miss what it was. But it's dead now, and there's a corpse walking around in its skin, and when I'm away from here and among others who haven't made the switch, I feel like the only person at the party who noticed there's a slimy CEO in an ill-fitting snoo suit pretending to be our friend (sometimes).

Like any other dead thing, I can't bring it back, so I have to move on.

I notice I'm more productive now. That's nice.

I was an active redditor for 15 years. I don't miss the platform, because kbin and Lemmy are far superior, but I do miss the volume of subreddits and activity. Maybe we will never have that here, but I'm not going back to that shithole.

I was there 17 years. Can't say I miss it, but I do lament it. The community there helped change my life in some very significant ways. But it became glaringly obvious that the administration have little to no appreciation or respect for their users. I've been enjoying watching them scramble to re-engage lost value in their IPO. I will only return to participate on r/place ... whether that's thru the void or a "Fuck u/spez" ... they will get my traffic for that.

I miss what Reddit was in 2006. I don't miss what it's become since.

I wish some communities or magazines, or whatever, were more active like reddit. I don't miss reddit.

Fuck Spez.

Nope, I had kind of got sick of Reddit, it was just a source of info. I barely interacted anymore.

I'm far more active here, it's exciting to have a new place.

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad

after 12 years on the platform, no. the amount of change for the worse that's taken place during that time is too much, and this most recent fuck up was the final straw. i was online before reddit and i'll remain online after reddit

My online experience has been much better without reddit. kbin is awesome and I want nothing to do with reddit. Last week I deleted my 10 year old account and I even add "-reddit" to the end of my google searches now so nothing from them comes up in the results. The interesting thing I'm noticing is that the longer I'm away from that toxic hellhole the better I feel. Thank goodness for kbin!

On a sidenote, I'm also fully aware that a company as aggressive and twisted as reddit will definitely have agents in here trying to manipulate the conversation to get people to come back. I ain't never coming back. Reddit sucks. I see you. Quit your BS.

I miss the craft, makeup and women's subreddits.

No. I am sick and tired of toxic-ass trolls with nothing better to do than make other people miserable, and those seem to be rare on the fediverse, so I'm staying here. The last half decade of Reddit got worse and worse and worse with this, especially during and after the 2016 US presidential election.

I've also noticed that the "caliber" of people that post here is quite different than your average Reddit user. On Reddit, I'll often try to have a serious conversation only to find out the person I'm talking to is just a teenage troll just looking to get a rise out of people for kicks. That has not happened to me here yet. When I migrated over, it's like all the children and toxic people vanished.

I miss having information compiled in one site (Reddit). I just made an RSS to replace it.

I miss what it used to be.

I don't miss it, because I'm still on Reddit. I'm just also here now.

Nope

Yeah. It's a horrible temptation that I will continue to keep resisting.

I miss some niche communities but I like the concentration of thoughtful responses here.

No, because I'm still using it.
Also, it's just a website. I'm using it only to get interesting content, not even to engage with other users, because that's usually hostile and toxic. I couldn't be emotionally invested in a website, even less in one that has such a shitty userbase.

Honestly, yes. I'm a tech guy who is cool with the growing experience of new projects and I'm here to stay... But, I also like specific sports teams, politics, and other non techy subjects that aren't going to make the move until they have no other choice or the issue is the community doesn't have critical mass to provide for engagement and back and forth in the comments. There are a few communities I still check in to weekly or so on Reddit because the information doesn't exist here yet. I hope those communities and members move to the fediverse some day, but to pretend that the offerings andb engagement here are equal or even "good enough" at the moment is unrealistic. My use of Reddit though has gone from hours a day to minutes a week and I refuse to upvote or comment, so while I miss a lot of things, I do my best to not help their metrics too much

I miss whitepeopletwitter, leopardsatemyface, murderedbywords, qanoncasualties, foodiecutie, and beautyguruchatter.

There's some specific information that I can't quite get easily. Like recently looking for information on headphones, amps and dac. R/headphones is still the easiest way to get a lot of information.

I no longer go there recreationally but when I really need good answers it's still a part of my duckduckgo search query.

I don’t miss it because I keep using it. The communities I follow there are niche and they are completely dead on the Fediverse. I keep opening Kbin every other day just to find that my "new" feed still shows posts from 2 weeks ago without even scrolling.

Also, most of what I dislike from Reddit is still here.

Tons of people on the Fediverse craft their responses to fish upvotes, and circlejerking/echo-chambers are here too. Just last week I got a fresh breeze of downvotes and angry commenters because I expressed that I dislike Steam, on the PCgaming magazine, which is the same thing that would’ve happened on r/gaming, r/pcmasterrace or another similar toxic cesspool on Reddit.

I miss RiF and my populated hobby subs.

Nah

No

I'm having fun helping build new communities here. I only miss it when I can't find a community with sufficient participation or when I have a specific question that was previously discussed on Reddit. For those cases, I'm willing to still use Reddit.

I miss the niche subreddits. When googling they still come up with good answers. I have reddit blocked in my pihole but sometimes I just disable it to view a solution to my problem. But then I feel dirty 😉

i've unsubbed everything except those niche sub for news and technical help, rarely goes there anymore but might help with the r/place protest

Reddit wasn't that good.

There’s literally one or two niche communities I still poke in on for news, but I’ve stopped participating.

If by your question you mean in that abusive, self destructive, totally dysfunctional, immoral and unethical ex sort of way, then sure I guess.

@bbplay13 yes, I miss the good parts as well...I used to be able to ask a question on how to repair something and get 20 solid responses in under an hour. There may be a corner of the fediverse that will fill a similar niche, but so far I haven't found it. I spend most of my time over on Mastodon.social , now, which seems to have more traffic, and maybe more niches. We'll see. I'm certainly NOT going back to reddit, but I do indeed wish it hadn't gone so pear-shaped, so quickly.

For me, Reddit died long before the whole ordeal of the API controversy. More and more traffic was due to bots, and lately I started to receive a lot of spam from porn bots there. There's not a lot of incentive on part of Reddit to remove them, since bot activity is still activity they can present to investors.

Don't get me wrong, not all bots are bad, but spambots are universally harmful.
