I never liked Reddit. I used to only use it for an hour or less a day to follow tech and IT communities.

But now, after the blackout, I can’t leave Lemmy. I’m on it about 5-6 hours a day to find communities, read news about Reddit blackout and Lemmy’s future. I think going back to Reddit will be good for me. It will take less of my time, especially after a lot of people quit Reddit.

Edit: Thank you for your nice answers and advice. I think all the good people of Reddit are here at Lemmy and kbin.

    I know what you mean. There’s nothing wrong with being young, of course, but I really cut back on my interaction on Reddit when I realized a while back just how many people there are teenagers or in their early twenties.

    Even if they’re not actually trolling, there’s an awful lot of attitude motivated by ignorance. It got really frustrating being downvoted for simply explaining some actual verifiable fact about the early development of JavaScript.
