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 directly -

Is it just me, or does r/all seem like it's getting more conservative?

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.

A lot of it is literal chat bots and not even real people

Dropped Reddit cold turkey when they closed the API.
It was an adjustment at first, but I do feel like the ecosystem has continued to grow and evolve, as well as me just adapting to what was on offer better.
I still never purposefully visit Reddit, but sometimes I just end up there from search results or links and it gives me the ick.

Same. Reddit without Relay isn't worth it

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.

Old reddit was so so useful this transition to everybody being loud with little depth of knowledge has been sad to watch.

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 [email protected]. 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.

Left because of Apollo shutting down. Thanks, Voyager devs, for recreating that experience on a different platform. :-]

Just joined 30 mins ago after I found out (really late) that OpenAI was using Reddit to train its LLM.

Welcome. Things will just continue to get shittier for sites and tech controlled by rich tech bros with no concept of reality. Stuff like the fediverse seems like the only answer at this point

My one year anniversary was last month. Fuck Reddit shutting down Apollo and other clients. I was only a lurker, but here feels more like community and I'm pretty active.
