    Left reddit during the API drama out of principle. I only read reddit now via 3rd party apps, I don’t contribute. I spend most of my time on Lemmy. My goal is for enough niche communities to grow here that I can give up reddit entirely.

    Just like Lemmy more.

    I do miss the ability to find conversations about any niche topic I want.

    But the conversations on Lemmy are more genuine/authentic and the platform is run on principal/morals. An enshittified platform based on greed and inundated with bots could never compete.

    Put another way, Reddit feels like I’m talking to the ‘‘internet’’, Lemmy feels like I’m talking to people.

    I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

    Neither, I still use reddit because the subreddits pertaining to my interests are still active. Lemmy is almost entirely political discussion and boomer Facebook comic strips from what I’ve seen, and most other boards pertaining to specific interests have low activity here. If that wasn’t the case I would be using Lemmy much more.

    Reddit sucks, it’s getting worse day after day. I’m still there, but moving to Lemmy.

    I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.

    Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly lurking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I’m very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media

    Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated Should be prepetrated in the foreigner’s land. It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform.

    I just refuse to use the official mobile app. When they killed Apollo, I left. I’ll use old Reddit sometimes when on my desktop but all my mobile browsing is on Lemmy with Voyager

    Left reddit when Sync stopped working. Been here ever since and I actually prefer it here anyway.

    Reddit was and probably still is an echo chamber of bots and catch phrases. There were a few useful gems of information when you googled something, but now most of that content has become unreliable due to some people (like me) who salted and later deleted their comments before leaving.

    Also Spez was a dick 🤷‍♂️

    Just like Lemmy more.

    Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.

    I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.
