Haven’t been on there in like 10 years, glad all of you finally saw the light. Sad it requires being forced off though.

I was the primary mod/founder for a fairly large subreddit. During the blackout protests Reddit threatened to remove my mod rights if I didn’t reopen the subreddit. I told them to get fucked, and my account was banned. They also removed the other mods and installed new mods. I haven’t touched the platform since and will never use Reddit again.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn’t like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

Edit: damn it’s almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

Edit: did you really just copy the same post as? There’s no karma like on reddit you know that right?

I’m on mbin mostly. The japan-focused subreddits for legal, finance, etc. have so far refused to move. Once they move, I will be done with reddit entirely

I like the fediverse more. I left during the api thing and think that the fediverse is the next step in social networking.

Left due to the crowd amassed for my country’s sub. I became friend with a few regulars there when the sub is small, but these day they’re significantly more and more people with a lack of common sense and logical thinking gathered there it’s hard to find new friend, to the point the friends i met just decided to lurk or quit. No more fun.

Then API fiasco happened and since i hate the official app so much as it’s significantly slower with horrible UI, it’s a final push for me to make the jump.

I wouldn’t say i like lemmy more, but it’s the one i tolerate now. If the main dev became unbearable then i jump again.

Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

My main and my alt still exist on reddit and have enough karma that I was offered stock options on both accounts.

Not going back because of the API fuckery. Coming up on 2 years on lemmy. Haven’t looked back.

I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I’m not banned but I might as well be.

I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.

I left Reddit on principle.
I still have functioning accounts over there.

The only time i go there is if I’m linked there when searching for info.

Reddit has been getting worse and eventually they just stopped showing people my comments so I deleted my account. Pretty much the next day the warnings for upvotes started coming in.

I had been though it all, having joined about a year after the site first launched. I have witnessed multiple evolutions of the broader community and management. I could no longer support what I knew was coming next, so I bailed after 17 years due to the API fiasco.

Now I visit only by chance on searches and RSS subscriptions to a couple super niche subreddits that are more likely to disappear than migrate anywhere else.

I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there… I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.

Lemmy is just so much better quality.

I just like Lemmy more.
