I don’t want to advertise Reddit, but I gotta say they do have an onion site.
Although… they fucked it up with rate limiting. Yes, IP-based rate-limiting on TOR network…

Oh, no, this isn’t just about making an account. They won’t even let you log in.
The lack of accountability of mods on reddit. Reddit doesn’t want to lose their free labor.
Initially because reddit permabanned me. Then I got comfy here

without attaching an obligatory /s
I kind of need it though :( (even in real life)
The /s is useful for people who have stuff like autism or just suck at realising something is a joke (me)
It’s the spot!
Because I love sync
Arrived because r*ddit banned Infinity, stayed because I’m a Communist tankie.
I always preferred and liked FOSS stuff anyway but somehow never heard of Lemmy/Graad/Hexbear until the API fiasco. I guess I always avoided the Chapo sub because I never listened to the show and I generally dislike those shows and personalities. I’m an older Commie, I didn’t get radicalized by Bernie or podcasts or steamers or whatever so I kept my distance. Seems like I missed out though. Glad to be here now.
Mostly for memes about beans.
Uh but for real because reddit quite literally sold out and went full corpo.
Corporate greed puts me off.
Spite
Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.
Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)
I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.
- The r/conservative mods got my main account global banned for using the “report misinformation” button too much. That sub used to have good quality textposts but when the trump cult took over, it changed to nonstop ragebait/lies/propaganda news articles. And on slow news days you’d see articles like “Throwback: Dont forget that Obama did X six years ago” to keep the people furious 7 days a week
- Enshittification
Lol, almost had the same happen to me but it was that stupid anti-vax sub.
So you were just a normal anti-vaxer before the crazies came in?
Fuck no lmao, I guess I put that poorly. They banned me from commenting real quick because I was calling everyone on their bullshit. Then it was reporting me for reporting them too much 🙄
For an actual community. I was tired of Discord and Reddit.
Because reddit shut down my favorite app.
I’m still using BaconReader thanks to reVanved.
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.
For Lemmy, I’m using Boost.
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.
Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).
Say what? Bacon reader still works?!
It does on Android with a personal Reddit API key and ReVanced. There are instructions posted over st r/baconreader.
For BSD and Unix community
