Steve Huffman is a greedy piss boy

Last time I tried to make an account it was instantly shadow banned. Maybe they don’t like my email address, who knows. It’s kind of a dump over there anyway

I left after the API price hike.

I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.

Fuck reddit, I left as soon as I could and deleted my accounts.

Both. Getting banned from reddit did me a favor, really.

Fed up with Reddit’s owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.

Banned from reddit for calling violence on Musk.

Frankly, I’m not impressed with Lemmy either, especially because personal interests are just so much harder to find engagement on.

So, whatever that answer amounts to.

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

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.

Banned across all accounts

I said “bad bot” to a nazi apologist, and apparently that’s “violence”

It’s a shame. I had quite a cult following for my “performance art”

I use both. I’ve attempted to replicate the subreddits I was subscribed to on Lemmy with very limited success. I’m not sure if I just need to subscribe to more instances or if my expectations are off.

Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at asklemmy@lemmy.ml btw

Both. It’s actually funny. Someone posted that image of alternatives to things like Reddit and Whatsapp and Google, etc, and it had Lemmy on it. I was at the point where I was getting sick of Reddit and had one account banned already. I joined Lemmy, and a few days later my other account got banned for up voting a comment that was just the gif of Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. I had already decided I liked Lemmy more at that point, so whatever. The one thing that sucks is that I had my own little sub with a couple thousand members where I posted my writing, and people seemed to like it. I enjoyed sharing my stories with all those weirdos, and now I can’t.

Banned on some subs. Mostly just left because I saw it enshittifying.
