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.
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.
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.
Shout out to all my ~1 year 9 month old account homies
Ayy, same day!
Same here. Left and never looked back.
Ditto. API thing was transition as well
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 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 just like Lemmy more.
I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.
I’m just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn’t want to go back.
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.
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 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.
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 nuked my 11 year old account when I moved here.
Wave of the future!
Not yet. I did get a comment removed but successfully appealed for saying what citizens do to kings. The appeal was me saying it was in a historical context, of course ;)
I got perma banned for saying that Elon Musk should get “burned” in Canada for fraudulent sales numbers posted by Tesla in order to qualify for Federal subsidies.
They took me literally, and claimed I was promoting violence. My appeal got shut down in less than an hour. They “burned” my 8 year old account, for saying that Elon should get “burned” in Canada. The irony is real.
