Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it’s not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.
Same.
I tried Reddit but I had enough with all the rules and corporate cleanliness of it. I used this site called ‘Saidit’ for a bit but but no one ever posted there so I looked into Reddit alternatives and stumbled across Lemmy. The rest is history
Because fuck u/spez
Fortune and glory.
I like having ownership of my internet experience so I run a lemmy instance and my friend administrates it. It is more fun than using a botted network.
Better engagement than Reddit at this point I’m starting to believe it’s all bots for real.
Because I believe in the idea of the Fediverse and I want it to succeed.
You’re right, I should go to bed.
To give me something to do on my phone during work hours since there’s no way I’m touching the official reddit client
Well I was IP banned on reddit. Anybody on reddit that uses my ip address gets an automatic ban forever. I don’t know exactly what I said or do. I tried appealing no response till date. Got tired of trying different vpn just for reddit and had to move.
Came here because of reddit API drama.
Stayed for the memes
Came in support of Apollo; I just couldn’t in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.
Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.
Quora’s enshittification ~2018-2024 went too far, and I’m still looking for something good enough. Checking out Lemmy, Trust Café, and Kialo.
if you haven’t tried them https://tildes.net/ and https://metafilter.com/ are both decent
i have no idea how you’re supposed to get a tildes invite without being able to post though
Because fuck Spez, that’s why.
Reddit bad.
I got on Reddit because it’s pseudonymous, and the nesting of threads is good. I didn’t appreciate it for a while, but upvote/downvote also provides a useful proxy for what body language does in real life.
