i need to know
Yes
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 🤷♂️
I want lemmy to succeed. Sadly reddit has better shitposts

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.
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.
I liked reddit but came here because I’m Canadian and am trying my best to ween myself from american products and services due to the american administrations newfound disrespect for my country. Also, tariffs.
470 days since seeing a post from someone who still cares about Reddit for some reason.Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven’t even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it’s way less likely I’ll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!
I like Lemmy more because it is more aligned with my interest, notably Tech and Linux. I also like to have smaller communities in which your interaction have impact and are being read instead of being lost in thoudands of comments.
Temporary ban but Reddit is becoming less and less fun. Less interesting.
It’s time to move on.
I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.
I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?
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.
Perma banned from Reddit cause I compared Clarence Thomas to Stephen Candie from Django Unchained.
I had an account on reddit, about five years old until I finally decided to leave it because i spend an ungodly amount of time there. Knowing myself and my habit to flake on self set goals I thought out the ultimate strategy to keep me from coming back: Over a couple of weeks I intentionally posted atrocious stuff on my main and my two alt-accounts to get me permabanned and burn every single bridge.
For now it has successfully stopped me from wasting time there any longer.
