    Just like Lemmy more.

    Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.

    I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.

    Left reddit when Sync stopped working. Been here ever since and I actually prefer it here anyway.

    Reddit was and probably still is an echo chamber of bots and catch phrases. There were a few useful gems of information when you googled something, but now most of that content has become unreliable due to some people (like me) who salted and later deleted their comments before leaving.

    Also Spez was a dick 🤷‍♂️

    No, I had a reddit account in good standing that was around a decade old, I switched to Lemmy when it became clear that Reddit was being run by the regressive conservative tech world, eventually I also deleted my reddit account as part of a purge of my online identity.

    Left reddit during the API drama out of principle. I only read reddit now via 3rd party apps, I don’t contribute. I spend most of my time on Lemmy. My goal is for enough niche communities to grow here that I can give up reddit entirely.

    Just like Lemmy more.

    I do miss the ability to find conversations about any niche topic I want.

    But the conversations on Lemmy are more genuine/authentic and the platform is run on principal/morals. An enshittified platform based on greed and inundated with bots could never compete.

    Put another way, Reddit feels like I’m talking to the ‘‘internet’’, Lemmy feels like I’m talking to people.

    I just refuse to use the official mobile app. When they killed Apollo, I left. I’ll use old Reddit sometimes when on my desktop but all my mobile browsing is on Lemmy with Voyager

    No, I still have my account but never use it anymore. After the api fiasco I came over here because I didn’t like how Reddit went about everything. I like it better here I get a bit of content and I’m done for the day, Reddit was addicting and it was made to be. Here I just check the feed until I get to yesterday stuff and I’m done for the day. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna see the same stuff just it’s just not endlessly regurgitated by bots and karma farmers. I like it better here, feels cozy compared to Reddit.

    I deleted my own Reddit accounts after They started censoring posts and subreddits.

    There was all too many fuckups in the last few years.

    • The API scandal
    • The wallstreetbets scandal
    • Spez and Fuck Reddit
    • the Antiwork community scandal
    • the Luigi censorship LGBT and EDI

    They have no control of that platform their hands are tied. They are sold.

    I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.
