or any other reason… im curious.
Me. 99% left when they banned third-party apps. 100% left after a they kept flagging me for silly stuff. Overwrote years’ worth of content on my 250k karma account with “fuck spez” and left it all there to rot.
Wasn’t banned, but I came here because I wanted to seek a genuine alternative. Reddit feels too censored and like you need to walk on eggshells to avoid the wrath of their moderators and admins.
Like… I genuinely can’t use words like “incel”, “cuck”, “snowflake”, “Trump”, “Andrew Tate”, etc without having my comment removed on most subs.
I left Reddit in disgust during the API situation. All the cool kids were coming here, so I did too.
Same here (I was never one of the cool kids, though).
Lemmy is full of dorks, and I love that. Among its other flaws, Reddit could be mean-spirited at times. I haven’t seen the same willingness to ignore ordinary human decency in favour of karma-farming here.
Banned twice. They don’t much like when I call for throwing bricks at cops.
They didn’t like it when I was calling for the same against Nazis. Personally I don’t want to be part of a community where its wrong to throw a brick at a Nazi…beating up on Nazis is as American as Apple Pie.
Got banned for calling an antivaxxer a waste of oxygen :3
Lol I rememebr reporting some ppl telling ppl to kill themselves post trump getting elected, like they were sucidal and the trumpies were encouraging it, reported them and got like a 3 day temp ban for abusing the report system
The ban waves were to lower the leftist presence, not to actually stop talks of violence.
I can create a new accounts if I wanted to. I just gave up on Reddit. They banned me for posting about how a local Nazi. Tried to get a youth center burned down because it had a LGBTQ flag up for pride month. The guy is a captain at a county jail to.
I still use both but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Been making political posts on Reddit for a while now & I’m convinced the mods of r/meme will perma ban me after my temp ban is lifted. Can’t speak the truth even if it gets millions of views.
I got banned too many times for telling people to punch Nazis. Eventually I was permad. Haven’t really tried to circumvent it much because why would I want to use a platform that vehemently protects Nazis?
Me, I got banned. I still used RIF until it died just to read Reddit, but once that was over I was done.
After my fourth or fifth perma , I decided Reddit was probably not for me .
I wasn’t banned, I just came here because of their API changes like many others. I always bring up “the grass is greener where you water it,” so I came here, and mod !gamedev@lemmy.world. I still view and use reddit some; it’s just more popular. But I try to do my part to make the Lemmy space a little more robust.
"the grass is greener where you water it
Great philosophy.
Which is why I encourage everyone to mod a community, be it or on another Lemmy instance!
Left during the API debacle 2 years ago.
Also, asking that question is the same as Dark Helmet asking “How many assholes we got on this ship”.
Same. Overwrote my comments and deleted my account on principle.
Actually surprising I don’t miss that 12yo account or any of my old communities at all.
I didnt go full scortched earth. There were a bunch of plugins around the time cropping up that would do that. Also reports that they would revert bulk deletions, I just walked away and have never logged in since.
I left Reddit voluntarily during the 2023 APIcalypse. Still use my account occasionally to promote the fediverse to those who are still there.
I left reddit because fuck them
I still read through reddit pages if they come up in search - there’s just too much useful info to ignore it. But I’m not going there directlyDitto. Use libreddit instances to read, but I do not feed the beast
Is it just me, or does r/all seem like it’s getting more conservative?
A lot of it is literal chat bots and not even real people
How long do you think it’ll be before it’s a network of AI echo chambers in which the majority of interactions are with bots?
One of the main reasons I left Reddit was because I suspect we’re very close to that exact scenario. I can’t prove it, but many interactions just seem suspicious.
imo reddit as a whole is conservative. the userbase is center-left at the most visible and i regularly saw progressive opinions discarded or mocked. you’d expect the liberals to defend them at the least but i’d see less of that and they’d get dogpilled too.
I’m center-right and I was witch hunted off of reddit. I’m sure the fact that I approved of Luigi didn’t help.
oh they hate when you say that there lmao
TBF, I am critical of Luigi and find myself having to tread on thin ice with my opinons
What got me upset with reddit is how sensitive its algorithm is falsely flagging stuff inciting violence. And then you appeal and nothing happens. I even got banned once for saying the Second Ammendment applies to the left too. It’s like you are in a bad relationship, walking on eggshels.
you guys act like we are some kind of scum of earth group, “boohoo i got banned from reddit, and its impossible to register a new account”
im here cause the privacy and degoogled subs are not get nuked when a serious subject comes up.
