My reason is that Reddit has opened a representative office in Turkey. This means the government can hand over IP addresses whenever it wants. In short, I came to Lemmy because freedom is gone. Fuck Reddit.

I got perma banned for “inciting violence” because I said the Trump admin is/will go after lgbt people.
That’s what they say. Some bootlicking fashy mod just didn’t like you insulting their bronze golem or their emerald mine Führer.
That type of stuff didn’t happen to me, but I saw it happening to others. That’s mostly why I left. Also I used the app Boost for Reddit, which became Boost for Lemmy so that helped me find an alternative and Reddit choosing corporate fascism helped me not look back.
Ya, conservatives in 2008 to 2016 were usually mocked relentlessly and buried, life went on. But now reddit has definitely been infiltrated by the right wing and you get banned for making them cry.
I had one account banned because I posted in a right wing sub of all places discussing Lord of the rings. The alt right has a weird obsession with LOTR if you didn’t know. . I posted a video clip of clerks 2 where Randall is trashing the LOTR movies and says the true ending should be frodo bricking in Sam’s mouth. Got banned for gay bashing in a right wing sub where they do it daily. The irony is astounding
it was mostly quiet before 2016, when trump won, russia realize reddit was a prime target so it has bombarded with so much propaganda, that bans started happening left and right for the slightest issue. also the gop/russia was responsible for shutting down alot of “controversial subs”
