Wow I actually completely forgot about the original official reddit app. I remember the only reason I switched to Bacon Reader in the first place was because they stopped supporting it, then eventually switched to Relay.
Also /u/Cylinsier on Reddit. A bullshit aritst.

I do find myself almost reflexively returning to Reddit at times but I ended up unsubscribing from like 80% of the subs I was in including everything that has a relevant community here. That’s really helping me care less about what is going on there and I have been consistently interacting more on here than there for a week now.
Honestly not really. I am not fully abandoning reddit either but in my case it’s less about a boycott and more the fact that I almost exclusively access reddit on my phone and I find the official app genuinely too frustrating to use. This isn’t even like an anger thing, I literally can’t figure the piece of shit out. So once Relay is dead I am just going to be visiting reddit way, way less. From my perspective this wasn’t my choice, reddit has forced me out. But for a good few years now I have been looking for an excuse to branch out. It’s been a toxic cesspool of fascist enabling for some time so I am actually a little grateful this is happening now. I needed a little push to get myself off their platform for the most part. And so far the Lemmyverse looks pretty promising to me.
It’s starting to get pretty hot where I live, gonna have to bust out the AC units soon at this rate.
