or any other reason… im curious.

As I’ve said before, Reddit’s become the new Quora / Yahoo Answers.
I left Reddit in disgust during the API situation. All the cool kids were coming here, so I did too.
Same here (I was never one of the cool kids, though).
Lemmy is full of dorks, and I love that. Among its other flaws, Reddit could be mean-spirited at times. I haven’t seen the same willingness to ignore ordinary human decency in favour of karma-farming here.
🤨
Raised brow indeed!
Holy shit the first thing I had to do when I got to Lemmy was block like 250 deep-fried-content accounts and communities. And I have to block something or somebody new almost daily here.
Old reddit was so so useful this transition to everybody being loud with little depth of knowledge has been sad to watch.
The people who shouldn’t comment or reply ro any post are the ones who immediately chime in with advice there, they’ve even taken to giving you ai responses like mf, I am fully capable of opening chatgpt on my own if I wanted ai responses
I left Reddit after the Apollo app was no longer usable due to the whole API thing. Their app is garbage and until recently their mobile website wouldn’t work (it would force you to visit with the app to view some subreddits).
Now, I use Voyager with Lemmy. I still check in on Reddit from time to time or when searching for info, but I use Lemmy mostly now.
Technically me, even though they eventually reversed it after appealing the ban 4 separate times (banned for “violence” for commenting “same” on a picture of a woman in a shirt that says “Punch a Nazi.”) That whole thread showed that the admin staff of the site have nazis and/or Nazis sympathizers among them and I don’t vibe with that shit. Once the API thing went through and RIF stopped working, I came here.
I made my account simply because I’m interested in federated/noncommercial social media. Left reddit for good once they fucked over the 3rd party apps.
Got banned for opposing genocide and Western imperialism in a main subreddit. 🤷
I originally moved from the API change, but also eventually got banned for calling out the genocide in Gaza.
In this thread: People learning about digital immigration.
I haven’t had a Reddit account thank god lol. but Reddit bans people just for saying the word Luigi, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people who’ve been unfairly banned from Spez’s shitsite come here
left because of api changes and their increasing censorship of content they don’t like (I miss r/all having r/eyeblech).
Came here after API changes because I hold a grudge and I refuse to use the app again. Genuinely fucking unusable, all of the recent reviews are 1 or 2 star
Rude awakening came last year after using reddit since 2015. Got banned for responding to r4r prompts. These days its become a cesspit for telegram ads and spam. Ironical you ban humans for botlike activities but let bots roam freely .
Joined lemmy and mostly use discord as an alt for redit subs i was actively involved in.
I was banned for calling out an antisemetic dogwhistle in an anime sub. Asking why I was banned instead of the other person led to a permanent sitewide ban.
Like many in the comments, I left after the API changes. I’m not using their shitty app, and it’s so bot infested now it’s not even worth it.
I wasn’t banned, I just came here because of their API changes like many others. I always bring up “the grass is greener where you water it,” so I came here, and mod [email protected]. I still view and use reddit some; it’s just more popular. But I try to do my part to make the Lemmy space a little more robust.
Same here. I stay on Reddit for my local communities, some sports (though [email protected] is still waiting in the wings!), and a couple of hobbies, but I actually just un-subbed from the remaining general interest subreddits I was on. There’s less commenting here, but as much or more conversing.
"the grass is greener where you water it
Great philosophy.
Which is why I encourage everyone to mod a community, be it or on another Lemmy instance!
