are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.
Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly stocking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I'm very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media
-
Reddit sucks, it's getting worse day after day. I'm still there, but moving to Lemmy.
-
I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.
-
The main reason I want to be back on reddit is some repeatedly keeps claiming on of my favorite local restaurants has bland food and doesn't use enough salt. In actually though the restaurant uses a little bit too much salt.
Really want to tell them they are a moron.
-
Just like Lemmy more.
I do miss the ability to find conversations about any niche topic I want.
But the conversations on Lemmy are more genuine/authentic and the platform is run on principal/morals. An enshittified platform based on greed and inundated with bots could never compete.
Put another way, Reddit feels like I'm talking to the ''internet'', Lemmy feels like I'm talking to people.

This puts into words what I've been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I'm not off reddit entirely, but I've gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me

Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated
Should be prepetrated in the foreigner's land.
It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform. -
I still read the same things I used to...there's just a red banner indicating that I'm banned, and I can't comment. Since they banned me, I'd be happy to leave entirely, if I found the same variety of content. That might be here, but I'm simply not that familiar with Lemmy and how it's set up, and have too much on my plate with other commitments to spend much time investigating, especially when I only have a few minutes to kill, and know what I want to read or see.

Same - I'm here more for the promise of a better experience rather than the better experience itself. Still waiting for the tipping point where niche topical communities have more than 1 post every 3 days.
-
There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.
-
Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.
You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.
-
Did the antiwork people secretely work? What hypocritical thing did they do? Did they produce value for somebody else? Those FUCKS!?
-
Left reddit during the API drama out of principle. I only read reddit now via 3rd party apps, I don't contribute. I spend most of my time on Lemmy. My goal is for enough niche communities to grow here that I can give up reddit entirely.
-
You got banned for reporting?
-
I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.
But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.
-
I overwrote my posts and comments on my 50k-karma account with links to Lemmy during the API protest and left. I have the contents saved and respond to people who ask for it (on Lemmy of course). Still, my Contributor Quality Score remains "High" (tier 4/5) to this day.
-
Lemmy has much less content at this point because there are only a fraction of the people, but I think it has correspondingly fewer assholes.
-
I go on reddit every now and again, but the Lemmy experience is better.
