I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn’t feel that strongly about it.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn’t like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

Edit: damn it’s almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

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.

It’s not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

I like Lemmy more.

Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there

I’ve just deleted my Reddit account, to switch entirly to Lemmy. No ban or something, i just don’t want to use social media from the US anymore.

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 🤷‍♂️

I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more

I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes

Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.

I go on reddit every now and again, but the Lemmy experience is better.

No, I had a reddit account in good standing that was around a decade old, I switched to Lemmy when it became clear that Reddit was being run by the regressive conservative tech world, eventually I also deleted my reddit account as part of a purge of my online identity.

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.

I left when RIF was disabled, 2 years ago now or close
