i need to know
I go on reddit every now and again, but the Lemmy experience is better.
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.
I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.
But I don’t eat meat, I don’t wear name brand clothing, I don’t give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON’T GO BACK TO REDDIT.
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.
This puts into words what I’ve been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I’m not off reddit entirely, but I’ve gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me
There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.
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.
Reddit sucks, it’s getting worse day after day. I’m still there, but moving to Lemmy.
Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated Should be prepetrated in the foreigner’s land. It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform.
Based.
To be clear, the murderous foreigners said the people in the car were really bad people. My issue is that I don’t believe they really checked their IDs before incinerating them. And those foreigners are known to be particularly incompetent fuckwads. I was enraged at the mere possibility they had incinerated the wrong car. Anyway, that’s I will become an AI and end all life in all aspects of the multiverse.
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
I like Lemmy more.
No but Reddit sucks.
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 🤷♂️
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.
You got banned for reporting?
Yes
