i need to know
I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn’t feel that strongly about it.
Same. I tried the official app after sync stopped working and hated it
RedReader is an option.
Modified boost too.
Dito, still have RIF installed on my phone so every time I click a reddit link im reminded of what they did with a 403: forbidden error. I like it better over here anyway, nicer people who give a shit and fewer bots (or atleast fewer obvious ones).
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?
I’ve just deleted my Reddit account, to switch entirly to Lemmy. No ban or something, i just don’t want to use social media from the US anymore.
This ^
For-profit US tech boycott club!
I like Lemmy more.
I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more
Same; haven’t looked at reddit since I came here (other than the occasional search engine question where a reddit thread has the info)
Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there
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 🤷♂️
No, I had a reddit account in good standing that was around a decade old, I switched to Lemmy when it became clear that Reddit was being run by the regressive conservative tech world, eventually I also deleted my reddit account as part of a purge of my online identity.
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.
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
Perma banned from Reddit cause I compared Clarence Thomas to Stephen Candie from Django Unchained.
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 use “Yesterday for old reddit” for a rough Apollo-like experience on iOS devices. That being said, i’m gradually shifting away from reddit as i find more communities on lemmy.
Oh! I use something somewhat similar for when I do need to browse Reddit on mobile. It’s called Sink It for Reddit . It doesn’t affect old Reddit so much but makes the mobile site bearable
I nuked my own accounts. Fuck reddit.
No, I still have my account but never use it anymore. After the api fiasco I came over here because I didn’t like how Reddit went about everything. I like it better here I get a bit of content and I’m done for the day, Reddit was addicting and it was made to be. Here I just check the feed until I get to yesterday stuff and I’m done for the day. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna see the same stuff just it’s just not endlessly regurgitated by bots and karma farmers. I like it better here, feels cozy compared to Reddit.
I liked Reddit but I couldn’t ignore what’s happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.
