I deleted my account and it was liberating. Nowadays I only go there when I want to look up something for a game on Google.
Unfortunately, the vast storehouse of information on Reddit makes it impossible to remove it from your life completely. Of course, a lot of that was built up before the douchebag decided to kill third party apps and tell Reddit users that they didn't really matter that much to him. You mean the people whose comments built your site brick by brick? Okay, sure. Why would they be important?
If I'm that unimportant to you, I can be unimportant elsewhere.
It's not even remotely impossible. Inconvinient, maybe.
Right? My brother in Christ, I could add a single line to one text file and reddit would be gone from my life except for the fact that people on Lemmy seem to never shut up about it. I keep it around for research, but I could live without that too, if it mattered.
Almost every info you find on Reddit can be found elsewhere. After all, Reddit is an aggregation machine, but it doesn't produce that much unique content.
I use a 3rd party API modded app with a burner a and check on niche communities that Lemmy doesn't have yet...I do not comment, upvote or engage.
I have RSS set up for the things I want. It's quite nice, I see what I want quickly and easily, and don't engage.
