I don't. When people say, "Do you use r/?" I reply with, "I left it during the blackout." That usually ends it.
It really annoys me how often I see major media others citing reddit these days. It seems it really ramped up after the IPO. It's never anything good either. They're just either outsourcing basic journalism or complaining that reddit is too negative.

Isn't that a good thing?
I'd rather people not engage with it at all.
Why not tell them about Lemmy (or other alternatives) instead?
Most of my friends are fully entrenched in mainstream social media and i don't think there's much interest in doing something different. I have a couple of friends and family members who i think are probably here, but we don't talk about it.
See that's the part that I don't really get though. Why is it so difficult to break free? People always want to complain but never want to be part of the solution.
Interesting that you don't talk about it. Is that just because you prefer to keep your identity here separate from real life, or some other reason(s)?
Most people i know don't complain a lot about the other places. When i bring up the constant marketing and such, they mostly don't care. When interacting with people you know on social media there's an expectation that you follow them, post/respond appropriately, etc. It's tiring. I would use a different account.
This. Same as it was on reddit back then too.
