I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.
The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don’t speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.
If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or… redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.
On July 1st my reddit usage will be zero. Until then I take a peek once a day or two to post http://join-lemmy.org where appropriate.
This is me , I logon once a day search api protest and add lemmy positive posts and maybe a lemmy post in one of my fav small subs. about 5% of my social media time. I expect to stop in july
