Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?

I havenā€™t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

Is it withdrawal symptoms if Iā€™m only curious out of spite?

Same, lol. I gave up reddit as soon as the protest started. Been on 4chan to pass the time, but lemmy has really picked up the last week.

Yes. You have to break away 100%. Cold turkey is a bitch!

Lol I wouldnā€™t really call it a bitch, I havenā€™t been on since they announced their plans. I just want any corporations to burn when possible

Lemmy is my new Reddit addiction. With Lemmy becoming more vibrant Iā€™m missing Reddit less and less, though Lemmy still has a ways to go.

Haha.

I find the best way to handle withdrawal is to change your habit. I spent time grabbing a few books, and spent a few days with my Kindle or with Foliate fullscreen on my HDTV.

So before, Iā€™d probably spend time answering r/firefox, looking at r/firefoxcss - now I start with 1/2 hour reading Great Expectations. After reading a chapter, I play the same chapter via audiobook - meanwhile I have a couple of TV/Movie versions queued up to watch after finishing reading.

After that Iā€™d probably get into some DadJokes - I can do that on https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes

Next up, an hour reading The Midnight Library

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesnā€™t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !dadjokes@lemmy.world

Hello!

May I ask why you are listening to the same chapter after reading it? :) Is it to retain the information or just to not miss anything? Do you do the same regardless if youā€™re reading fiction or non-fiction?

Most movies and tv shows are from books, and reading the book is 99.5% better.

Think of talking Bladerunner movie and doing it as a 30 minute short.

As a fellow boosterā€¦ Youā€™re a whore šŸ˜‰. Hoping rmayayo really does put together a lemmy/fediverse app.

Iā€™d LAUNCH the Rocket!

Thereā€™s a registration up on the Play store to download it once it releases, and he did a pretty open announcement on the Boost for Reddit app.

Iā€™d say somethings coming of it, at the very least.
