Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Believe me, I know. I've tried and failed to quit at least 10 times now (everytime I come back it eventually just becomes a place for me to argue with strangers). I'm hoping my displeasure with their recent dealings will be enough to keep me off for good, and its definitely looking like Lemmy can fill the void (hopefully in a more healthy way).

But yeah I'm gonna miss using Reddit to answer all my Google questions, or to hear what people are saying about whatever new song I've discovered, even from its a tiny obscure band nobody's heard of. The scale and scope of Reddit was a huge part of it's value.
