I barely use Reddit now. I’ve unfollowed any sub that has an equivalent here.

The main one holding me back is that native speakers of my language are there.

I’m currently trying out Lemmy because reddit is killing the Old Reddit interface and I refuse to use their shitty app or new interface website. Plus after using it I think it’s kind of fun to have reddit but smaller and more curated. It’s like Reddit used to be back in like 2012.

I like Lemmy more, especially since it’s not corporate owned. The Reddit admins turned the site to shit purposely to push their greedy agenda, they instilled moderators that acted in bad faith for many subs, they allowed misinformation bots and other bad faith actors to run rampant, and they hosted ads to bet on US elections for months up until the day of the election itself. Truly and utterly disgusting behavior from Reddit.

Ellen Pao deserved better, Spez taking over is what enshitified the site.

I’m not permanently banned, I was temporarily banned for a bullshit reason and when I got my account back I went scorched earth then closed my account. Fuck reddit

Not banned but I like here more. I left during the Exodus/ blackouts/shutdowns. In another life I was a mod for a moderately successful sub and after going into the rabbit hole and seeing the app timer increase to hours a day, I felt they could at least gift mods premium and they could skip ads. After some drama and a high caliber mod left the sub, I followed shortly after as the community has grown and changed.

Israeli IOF Hasbara in worldnews got me banned from everything. I have 5 fully shadow banned account. basically and effectively perm bans. Your page says “no user exists” and your posts and comments cannot be seen by any user nor any viewer in the world.

I’m perma banned for spreading Luigi related posts.

Every time I add a comment or post on reddit, I get banned all the time, I don’t even know why, I tried to appeal the ban, but no one gives a shit. Anyway, I like Lemmy better, it’s faster, lighter, and doesn’t have any dumb karma thing. So I deleted my last Reddit account, told the Reddit administration to go screw themselves, and I have no regrets.

I had numerous accounts, some throwbacks going back 11+years, almost all were purged in feb12-13, due to them trying to eliminate and astroturfing any anti-right wing talking points. now they are assuming almost anyone is a bot. and the last one i thought was safe, was just shadowbanned recently

I was the primary mod/founder for a fairly large subreddit. During the blackout protests Reddit threatened to remove my mod rights if I didn’t reopen the subreddit. I told them to get fucked, and my account was banned. They also removed the other mods and installed new mods. I haven’t touched the platform since and will never use Reddit again.

Haven’t been on there in like 10 years, glad all of you finally saw the light. Sad it requires being forced off though.

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: did you really just copy the same post as? There’s no karma like on reddit you know that right?

I like the fediverse more. I left during the api thing and think that the fediverse is the next step in social networking.

Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

I’m on mbin mostly. The japan-focused subreddits for legal, finance, etc. have so far refused to move. Once they move, I will be done with reddit entirely
