I like the fediverse more. I left during the api thing and think that the fediverse is the next step in social networking.
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: did you really just copy the same post as? There’s no karma like on reddit you know that right?
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.
Shout out to all my ~1 year 9 month old account homies
Ayy, same day!
Same. I couldn’t stand the Reddit app and all the ads loaded in it. I switched the day Apollo stopped working.
Yep. Apollo shutting down is why I created an account, deleted all my content and my Reddit account once things started getting really fucky.
Same here. Left and never looked back.
Ditto. API thing was transition as well
I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I’m not banned but I might as well be.
My main and my alt still exist on reddit and have enough karma that I was offered stock options on both accounts.
Not going back because of the API fuckery. Coming up on 2 years on lemmy. Haven’t looked back.
Reddit has been getting worse and eventually they just stopped showing people my comments so I deleted my account. Pretty much the next day the warnings for upvotes started coming in.
I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.
I left Reddit on principle.
I still have functioning accounts over there.The only time i go there is if I’m linked there when searching for info.
I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there… I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.
Lemmy is just so much better quality.
I just like Lemmy more.
I’m just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn’t want to go back.
Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲
My opinions on a certain orange thing was a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.

I’ll join you somewhere around this statement.
I left Reddit because the algorithm really wanted me to be angry and afraid.
The world is a shitty enough place. I don’t need the advertisers stressing me out even more.
Shit you ain’t need an algorithm for that.
I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don’t want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I’d look back at what I’ve posted and commented more often, but I haven’t much at all.
I had been though it all, having joined about a year after the site first launched. I have witnessed multiple evolutions of the broader community and management. I could no longer support what I knew was coming next, so I bailed after 17 years due to the API fiasco.
Now I visit only by chance on searches and RSS subscriptions to a couple super niche subreddits that are more likely to disappear than migrate anywhere else.
