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.
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.
I have no intention to ever go back to reddit, I'm quite happy with both lemmy and kbin. Just like I have no intention to ever go back to twitter, mastodon and akkoma (I'm yet to try calckey) having replaced it for me completely.
I left almost all centralised social media behind, except tumblr (which has a similar culture to the fediverse) and youtube.
Over just the last couple of days, kbin has gotten so much better, I honestly haven't even thought about checking that other site what's it called? r-something? Can't remember
At this point I am going into Reddit to figure out which of my subscriptions I want to find a different way to access. So either I am finding a similar magazine in kbin or I'm moving the source to my RSS aggregator (Feedly).
Interestingly, as I bounce in to do a look/see, I'm seeing a whole lot less interesting content. So the moderator "revolt" is having a big effect for me.
