i need to know
Both
I just use both. I don’t like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content
I like lemmy more.
I’m not angry when I use lemmy. So, I like it here.
Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.
Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome
no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn’t going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don’t need reddit.
Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there
banned
decided to finally try the alternative
So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor
Permabanned but I do like it here
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).
Same. I tried the official app after sync stopped working and hated it
I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I’m realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I’m noticing that it wasn’t that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.
I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.
I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn’t good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.
But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.
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.I’ve had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I’ve had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I’m still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media
I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.
