i need to know
I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I’m glad I didn’t wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn’t happen.
It’s not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior
Yes
I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.
I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn’t like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.
Edit: damn it’s almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride
Edit: I can’t believe cm0002 copied your exact same post
Fuck /u/spez
I’m not banned because I almost never post or log in reddit, but I’m still going. There are communities I didn’t find here. But I try to participate more here.
Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.
i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.
Got banned on Reddit years ago and I’ve been on Lemmy for a month
Reddit had its advantages but when they forced everyone to have r/all as a default sub I feel like the content really started going downhill and all the subs started becoming the same. Then when the API thing happened I realized it wasn’t going to get better, they were determined to become Facebook.
At the very least there’s less “you should be supporting my sides’ genocide and it’s your fault my country is ‘openly’ evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well” on lemmy.
I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.
I like Lemmy. Reddit is too corporate now
Lemmy more.
Lemmy is my best friend now.
