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.
Same here. Left and never looked back.
Shout out to all my ~1 year 9 month old account homies
Ayy, same day!
Ditto. API thing was transition as well
Yep. Apollo shutting down is why I created an account, deleted all my content and my Reddit account once things started getting really fucky.
Same. I couldn’t stand the Reddit app and all the ads loaded in it. I switched the day Apollo stopped working.
I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.
I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there… I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.
Lemmy is just so much better quality.
I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don’t want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I’d look back at what I’ve posted and commented more often, but I haven’t much at all.
Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲
My opinions on a certain orange thing was a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.
I’ll join you somewhere around this statement.
I like lemmy more and decided to get my accounts banned in reddit after I started using lemmy.
I’ve still got an account. But I jumped over during the API debacle. I’m sure if I stayed I would have been banned for commenting on the Luigi situation, or calling Musk and Trump out for the dimwitted little Nazi fucks they are.
But I’m here! A proud little lemming just feeling blessed AF to be here with all you nerds!
I over-wrote and then deleted my nearly 20 years of posts/comments and then deleted my account.
I’m not banned, I was banned in r/Korea for posting a link to my own peertube instance but nowhere else.
I just don’t feel that me trying to make some rich guy even more rich makes a lot of sense when they behave so shitty to us.
I came here during the API thing then went back because it’s quiet here. Then I came back because I got into selfhosting and now I’m more dug in.
Idk why I would get banned from Reddit
I just like Lemmy more.
I’m just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn’t want to go back.
Lemmy is a much nicer environment overall, so i moved here
My main and my alt still exist on reddit and have enough karma that I was offered stock options on both accounts.
Not going back because of the API fuckery. Coming up on 2 years on lemmy. Haven’t looked back.
I was briefly perma banned but it was bullshit so it was lifted on appeal, but it was wake up call. Reddit admins are getting kinda fashy so I decided after 14 years it was time to leave.
