I tried Reddit but I had enough with all the rules and corporate cleanliness of it. I used this site called ‘Saidit’ for a bit but but no one ever posted there so I looked into Reddit alternatives and stumbled across Lemmy. The rest is history
Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it’s not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.
Same.
Because fuck u/spez
To give me something to do on my phone during work hours since there’s no way I’m touching the official reddit client
Fortune and glory.
I like having ownership of my internet experience so I run a lemmy instance and my friend administrates it. It is more fun than using a botted network.
Better engagement than Reddit at this point I’m starting to believe it’s all bots for real.
Because I believe in the idea of the Fediverse and I want it to succeed.
Well I was IP banned on reddit. Anybody on reddit that uses my ip address gets an automatic ban forever. I don’t know exactly what I said or do. I tried appealing no response till date. Got tired of trying different vpn just for reddit and had to move.
You’re right, I should go to bed.
Came in support of Apollo; I just couldn’t in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.
Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.
Saw the whole fiasco of Reddit unraveling and then went to Lemmy. Seriously fuck Spez and how he treated the developer of Apollo.
Came because of the reddit API. Stayed, because I couldn’t stand reddit users anymore.
In the same boat. I stayed because I can’t stand reddits god awful app showing you shit that your not subscribed to, that’s what r/all is for (miss you Apollo)
Because fuck Spez, that’s why.
Came here because of reddit API drama.
Stayed for the memes
