    I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.

    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.

      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).

    It’s not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

    I’m permanently IP banned from Reddit. During the time when they forced everyone off of third party apps, I posted multiple times in relevant discussions about Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives. One morning when I logged in my account had a message from Reddit admins that my account and IP address was banned and that any future accounts created would be circumventing the ban and would also be banned.

    More reason to leave that site anyway.

    I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes

    I got a bullshit warning about harassment on a 5 day old post that said “Don’t be a jerk to people you don’t know and you won’t have that problem” Appealed it and got told it it was harassment.
    Fuck reddit.
    I’m slowly going through my posting history and editing anything useful to the AI training to be nonsense.

    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.
