Nope, I actually deleted my Reddit account. I already had low support for Reddit because of the response they gave after the last time there was a Reddit blackout. I had been using Lemmy on and off on my old account on the main instance, so when the recent blackout happened, I gave Reddit one last chance but the way they handled the situation was the last straw for me. I came back to my account on Lemmy and used it until the main Lemmy instance started having server problems due to the influx of users.

vortexal@sopuli.xyzto asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst movie you've ever seen?English4·2 years agoI don’t watch very many movies and this might be a controversial answer but the Hunger Games (at least the first movie, I’ve only seen the first one). It actually took me a whole month to watch it because the first time I tried to watch it, I fell asleep about 5 minutes in and I had to build up the mental fortitude to actually finish watching it. And it took me a total of three sittings to watch because I didn’t have any connection to the story or the characters at all. I think I also remember the second half of the movie being actually good (not great, just good) but nothing really notable happens in the first half.
I think if they gave less time to the back story of the characters and focused more on the hunger games portion, it might have been fine.
vortexal@sopuli.xyzto asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?English121·2 years agoNot really, I’ve only ever down voted something that I thought really needed to be down voted. There is a reason why the down vote buttons exist but they should really only be used when you have a good reason to use them.
It’s funny though, because I have the exact opposite problem, as I up vote pretty much every post I see. While that is better, I understand that it’s probably also bad in it’s own way.
I don’t have this problem with YouTube but I have this with video games. What I do is remember that I’m one person, I can never experience everything. With any form of media, what I get to experience is what I get to experience. Even though I don’t have much, as long as I get to experience something that’s new to me, even if it’s old, I’m still happy with it.

vortexal@sopuli.xyzto asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will you stay at Lemmy and the Fediverse, if Reddit steps back?English5·2 years agoI plan on staying but I’d use both if they did. I believe in the saying “competition breeds improvement” and while I know that Lemmy is essentially built to have it own sort of “competition” in the form of alternate instances, I think it would still be worth using both, along with other Reddit alternatives because they do have their sets of pros and cons. I don’t want Reddit to shut down, but I also don’t want to support a platform that very clearly doesn’t care about their users.
I’ve never actually met a real famous person but the closest was that I once went to school with a girl who later briefly did photo shoots for a vaguely popular magazine. I don’t remember her full name but her first name was something like “Kristina” and I’m pretty sure her last name sounded Russian. She randomly friended me on Facebook several years ago but when I messaged to her, it seemed like I was talking to her manager and not her directly, it was very weird.
