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.
Shout out to all my ~1 year 9 month old account homies
Ayy, same day!
Same here. Left and never looked back.
Ditto. API thing was transition as well
Yep. Apollo shutting down is why I created an account, deleted all my content and my Reddit account once things started getting really fucky.
Same. I couldn’t stand the Reddit app and all the ads loaded in it. I switched the day Apollo stopped working.
Same! As soon as I was forced to use the official Reddit app over Sync, I jumped ship
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.

hence the powermods, im guessing thats how 92 mods consildated thier power and control over 500+ subs. you can hazard a guess of which subs are being control by these groups.
I also privated some communities and they renamed them to some random characters instead.
I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.
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.
Not banned. I chose Lemmy because I’m a big believer in the ideas of the fediverse and I want it to succeed.
I do still have to use Reddit occasionally to look up info that hasn’t made it here yet, but I don’t post or comment there.
Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲
My opinions on a certain orange thing were a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.
I’ll join you somewhere around this statement.
i got shadowbanned recently on my only account, and the rest was purged in feburary by reddit.
deleted by creator
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?
2 years?? Holy shit! Time flies…
I got perma banned for saying that Elon Musk should get “burned” in Canada for fraudulent sales numbers posted by Tesla in order to qualify for Federal subsidies.
They took me literally, and claimed I was promoting violence. My appeal got shut down in less than an hour. They “burned” my 8 year old account, for saying that Elon should get “burned” in Canada. The irony is real.
Welcome to lemmy.
What’s your favorite molotov recipe?
I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don’t want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I’d look back at what I’ve posted and commented more often, but I haven’t much at all.
I left after the API price hike.
I like the fediverse more. I left during the api thing and think that the fediverse is the next step in social networking.
I did the same when the API changes were introduced and my app didn’t work anymore. Open source is the way to go.
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 haven’t been on reddit for a long time. When you say “offered stock options”, do you mean they offered you the opportunity to invest in stock, or discounted stock, or free stock?
All of the above.
I have banned myself from Reddit.
Same. Also removed what content I had put there, to the extent that I could. Account is still there.
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.
I had numerous accounts, some throwbacks going back 11+years, almost all were purged in feb12-13, due to them trying to eliminate and astroturfing any anti-right wing talking points. now they are assuming almost anyone is a bot. and the last one i thought was safe, was just shadowbanned recently
It’s damn bullshit, you write something in Reddit, the stupid system thinks you’re a bot and bans you… good luck appealing this shit, you’ll be sitting there for months begging for a unban. Screw these lazy assholes.
