Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely.
BossFeather6325@lemmy.zip 1 day agoMost of my habits stemmed from the fact that I found the general chaos of Mastodon overwhelming and too complex for daily use. For instance, while Reddit has its own straightforward website and app, Mastodon lacks a clear, simple interface—which made it seem overly complicated to me from the start. Consequently, I always found it much easier to quickly hop onto Reddit to post or leave a comment. Most importantly, the number of active users on Mastodon is, unfortunately, still far lower than on Reddit.

Since Mastodon was mentioned I’ll also add that a thoroughly hate that Mastodon doesn’t even attempt to show you anything unless you enable Javascript. I’m a user of NoScript so websites don’t run JS by default unless I explicitly opt in. For most sites that’s not a huge deal since it’s just a one time thing but because Mastodon is federated I need to opt in every instance individually which means 90% of the time on the rare occasion I visit a Mastodon link nothing loads initially.
I wish Mastodon did the thing most non-sketchy websitss do and renders at least a basic view of its content without JS so I could at least decide if it’s worth enabling JS in the first place.
