I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

    Defintely. But it’s not so much I feel morally bad, I just hate reddit so I don’t enjoy using it. I guess I was hidden from the worst of it by using boost, but now when I want to use reddit briefly (to ask some niche question that I won’t get a lot of responses on lemmy) I use the website and the experience is so unpleasant. There’s now all these awful gamification popups, “Keep your 1/300 streak going!” bullshit.

      Use old.reddit and uBlock Origin and you see none of that. Alternatively, use Stealth: https://gitlab.com/cosmosapps/stealth on Android.

      I do feel morally bad about using Reddit, so I try to wean myself off it, and fill my browsing time with Feddit/Lemmy and Mastodon.
