- anshumankmr 2y agoTrue that. Largely avoid Reddit cause of well... everything. Replaced it with this site and Twitter (occasionally).
- EasyMark 2y agoTwitter is 10x worse than reddit for astroturfing, political propaganda bots, and blue check clowns. I agree with you for sure that HN is several notches above reddit though
- anshumankmr 2y agoI have been curating and sanitizing my feed, I get cat pics, occasional Marvel stuff, ML stuff and ones from friends, but yeah still if I browse the main feed, vitriol does pop up, though I mute accounts and keywords.
- OhioMan2943 2y agoThe best way to cure and addiction is to find a slightly less harmful addiction ala hn ars, econo and ieee
- ngruhn 2y agoAmen
- assimpleaspossi 2y agoI reached that point with reddit years ago.
- dabbz 2y agoYea after their blatant disregard for community after the API fiasco, I decided I didn't need to use Reddit anymore. For a while I just used hacker news. Then I picked up TikTok. It isn't horrible but I sometimes have to be careful because the feed will start to try and feed me stuff that's just brain rot.
- OhioMan2943 2y agoYeah I'm basically cut off from the modern internet because my values don't align with it, as a young person. I can't stomach anything where people are trying to sell something or gain popularity and are insincere. It means im basically just on here, ft comments, and ars sometimes.
