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.
5-6 hours seems excessive… If you have other issues that are the root cause, maybe deal with those first, but if it’s a self-control issue (which it was for me sometimes) there are great browser plugins to block certain sites after a certain amount of time. I use LeechBlock for firefox and after my “self allotted time” it locks down reddit and lemmy for me so I can’t access it any more. There are similar plug ins for other browsers, I can really recommend it!
Ps: But to answer your original question, from an ideological standpoint, definitely stay on lemmy.
