are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted.
I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm.
I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked. -
It's not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior
-
for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.
-
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: I can't believe cm0002 copied your exact same post
Fuck /u/spez

I used Redd is Fun for years, even paid for the ad free version. Moved to Boost as the API debacle as the wave slowly started killing aps. Tried the official app for 2.5 seconds & hated it.
Moved to Lemmy & been loving it since.
I still use reddit on desktop, but it's all Lemmy on mobile thanks to Boost.

Lemmy is my best friend now.

I want to use Lemmy more but the content just isn’t enough yet especially on niche topics and hobbies. I do try to come here for the “front page” over Reddit, since those posts on Reddit get so many replies you ain’t reading them all anyways.
But when it’s time to talk World of Warcraft, for example, Lemmy is mostly dead.
Basically, this is the same for me as well. I like Lemmy but there’s just not enough content yet and that’s OK but until then I’m gonna naturally gravitate to other social media until more staff is able to transition over. Half of the post seems to be reddit reposts.
-
Reddit had its advantages but when they forced everyone to have r/all as a default sub I feel like the content really started going downhill and all the subs started becoming the same. Then when the API thing happened I realized it wasn't going to get better, they were determined to become Facebook.

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month
-
Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.

Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't
Permabanned for inciting violence but I was talking about child molesters so fuck them.
-
I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.
-
I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.
-
I didn't wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.

I am the one who bans
