People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?

I have noticed that I’m very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.

This is pretty much in all subreddits I’m active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.

Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can’t call what is on Reddit content anymore.

    This is totally an echo chamber. Just look around. Its part of what drew us all here at the end of the day.

    And for the record, I prefer that flavor of madness over whatever the US is voting in around the country right now, so maybe take my observations as nothing more or less than just that - observations.

      Not saying we in the united States aren’t to blame for a lot of what’s going on but its starting to become global. Migration/race issues are becoming hot everywhere and at the same time everyone is rushing in the new era of survalience on the level, or surpassing that of 1984.

      I always used to imagine that I could just flee my country when things got too bad, but increasingly it seems like its spreading every where.

        I am more and more convinced we need to build a commune somewhere in New Zealand and do our best to ride out the climate wars in the most resilient part of the world. What are the weed laws in NZ and how seriously do they take them?

          The epstine class have already beat you there, majority of them plan on moving there including Gabe newel. So hope you like working as a servant or a house keep.

          I am entitled to land in Alaska and been considering that more and more lately.

          That area is supposed to shift in the upcoming decades and be more mild and similar to the pnw if I understood what I was reading correctly.

            I’d wanna be south of the arctic circle, though. I need something resembling seasons and am absolutely certain I would go genuinely insane with six month intervals of night and day. As long as those conditions are met, I’m down with that too.

            I also read somewhere that Britons might wanna consider starting vineyards as the climate there is likely to become more Mediterranean. Also something to consider.

              Yeah honestly the idea of Alaska depresses the shit out of me. Its already a open door is my thing and the path of least resistance.

              I hate snow, I hate long periods of darkness, I hate being wet whole cold, so I would likely go insane.
