Not banned. I think it’s great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.

I have banned myself from Reddit.

Just trying it out. Not yet banned anywhere

I left briefly to go on Kbin.social first, but went back to Reddit when the instance got flooded with spam and then started to go down more often than not. I had fun customizing how my communities/magazines looked when I was on there.

After the stupid decisions like making upvotes bannable which have worse implications longterm, I went back to the Fediverse. I decided just change instances if shit hits the fan instead of allowing myself to get back into Reddit. It sucks because I’ve used Reddit since around 2010. That being said, Lemmy feels more like how Reddit used to when I started using it.

Just like Lemmy more. Reddit has become to enshittified for me to use it anymore, except for some niche stuff due of Reddit’s larger traffic volume.

I left after the API price hike.

Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

Never banned. Just moved over here after it was even more clear that they don’t have our best interests in mind. And never did.

Same for Xitter.

Well, Reddit was a bunch of Democrats circlejerking each other for Internet points to benefit a massive corporation, whereas Lemmy is a bunch of Democrats circlejerking each other for internet points.

So… I guess I like both because it helps reinforce that all social media is a waste of time and a blight on society and culture as a whole

Like MySpace, Reddit, as we knew and loved it, died a long time ago (arguably long before the API scandal). The API scandal was just the straw that broke the camel’s back for many of us.

I’ve been trying to use Lemmy more for general and political content but I still use Reddit for niche fandoms and hobbies.

Banned I don’t know how to behave online.

Every time I add a comment or post on reddit, I get banned all the time, I don’t even know why, I tried to appeal the ban, but no one gives a shit. Anyway, I like Lemmy better, it’s faster, lighter, and doesn’t have any dumb karma thing. So I deleted my last Reddit account, told the Reddit administration to go screw themselves, and I have no regrets.

I like Lemmy more, especially since it’s not corporate owned. The Reddit admins turned the site to shit purposely to push their greedy agenda, they instilled moderators that acted in bad faith for many subs, they allowed misinformation bots and other bad faith actors to run rampant, and they hosted ads to bet on US elections for months up until the day of the election itself. Truly and utterly disgusting behavior from Reddit.

Ellen Pao deserved better, Spez taking over is what enshitified the site.

I halted all of my posting to reddit during the API fiasco. Lurked on Lemmy until I needed to start blocking communities and then created an account to do so.

Most of the niche and local communities (most notably r/IWantOut) are still on that sinking ship though, and not here :(. I only visit to see what those niche communities are up to from time to time, but do not post or get any news from there.

Of the communities that are highly active on Lemmy, I do think the content is pretty good and is enough to replace reddit. I feel like I get to hear what’s going on without the censorship on that sinking ship. There’s just enough activity such that the more general communities have enough new content to look at by browsing the “all” tab on the homepage and in the communities, but there’s still not enough activity or users for me to browse through “local” or “subscribed” yet.
