Nope, enjoying kbin way more than reddit so far. Even if this doesn't work out I think I might have kicked my reddit habit!
I agree with you, don't know why but it just feels better.
It feels better to me because I can post this, walk away, come back, and not find myself downvoted into obscurity - just for joining a conversation. This could change, but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
That's the love I'm talking about. I went on reddit after being here, and my comments were autobanned, shadow blocked, or downvoted even though I put thought into them. On reddit I dread karma points because so many subreddits used it as a means to measure my value. Here - I wrote comments across the fediverse, closed my eyes and waited to get beat with sticks - and when that didn't happen, I realized - the emotional trauma of reddit is real. I don't even talk much on reddit because I'm afraid of speaking - but here it feels different. I just can't go back to that.
Yep same, that is why I left , I've been looking for something to scratch the old Reddit itch, as fed up of "waiting to see why I am wrong" this to me is not about API (although the worry of poor moderation I support) it is mainly been looking to leave and this is the excuse.
Honestly I didn't post at all to reddit, so I had no idea it was that bad! Doesn't sound like fun at all, and after all these are supposed to be fun, social communities.
It's got a better design. it flows more easily, i guess I'm saying.
I've realized how much I just mind numbingly would open reddit for no reason at all.
It was rough the first days but I'm amazed how much more time I have now since I kicked that habit.
Mind numbing is so right, I'd just scroll and see the same posts, same cookie cutter replies. It was all very predictable and I don't think it was bringing all that much to my life. I do miss the more niche subreddits as they were still invaluable but hopefully the same can be developed here.
I'm not going back. This has permanently scarred me. I see the light now, being here now is like a battered child learning what love is for the first time.
Well I hope you continue to find your experience here better!
