New here as well but I also gave you your 666th upvote. So there’s something.

welcome, we have linux and communism.

Reddit needed you more than you needed Reddit. The moment you are slightly less efficient advertising money, they told you to hit the road. When people tell you who they really are, you should listen.

I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.

Fuck reddit and fuck spez

Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.

Welcome. Lemmy is like Reddit but the lemmings are more dogmatic and sensitive.

I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn't edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for "using a slur" and didn't listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn't change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.

But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don't want human users, this is why "shadowbans" are a thing, they want humans to feel like they're interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.

They're already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI's.

They aren't hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI's "use" reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.

I keep getting banned for the most ridiculously benign comments. They aren't serious adults there.

Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.

Free Luigi.

Fuck reddit.

Fuck spez.

Welcome.

I've been here since November. Loving it.

Your comments actually get responses on this platform. Whereas 90% of your Reddit comments will never be seen, much less interacted with.

The downfall of Reddit is well underway.

You forgot fuck spez

Jesus, it's gotten even worse since I left. Fuck Reddit.

I left reddit a few months ago. I wish I never gave reddit a minute of my time.

I got tired of how mean the comments became...

Elon started to repressure reddit again on criticism against him just recently

Welcome, there hasn't been a better time than now in a while.

Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit's CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.

So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.

It honestly feels like the transition from Digg to Reddit way back when. If you're on iPhone, I am using Voyager and have been happy with it.

How did you learn of Lemmy?

Just deleted my account as well.

welcome! it is better here

Got banned for saying a member of the Taliban should be killed and not on a merry go round.

Yeah I deleted my 13 year old account in 2024 and honestly, good riddance.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the fediverse!
