    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.

    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

    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

    I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.

    I’m not banned because I almost never post or log in reddit, but I’m still going. There are communities I didn’t find here. But I try to participate more here.

    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.

    The API killing my preferred third party app did it for me. And the blatant astroturfing/karma farming also meant that it wasn’t a good experience on there.

    I will say though, the Reddit hivemind effect is still present on Lemmy. Though I think there’s less tepid posts to raise account karma here.

    I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.
