Fed up with Reddit’s owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.

I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can’t find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.

Haven’t been on there in like 10 years, glad all of you finally saw the light. Sad it requires being forced off though.

Lemmy as a platform speaks to me on a philosophical level when it comes to the kinds of technology I use when I have the choice. I like that it is not at the mercy of the need to turn a profit to exist.

I went scorched earth on reddit

Fuck reddit, I left as soon as I could and deleted my accounts.

I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don’t want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I’d look back at what I’ve posted and commented more often, but I haven’t much at all.

I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.

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 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.

Lemmy is a much nicer environment overall, so i moved here

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.

I’m just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn’t want to go back.

I left during the API kerfuffle even though I didn’t use an app. I had been thinking about getting off of it for some time prior to that because I realized doomscrolling was negatively affecting my mental health. So I followed the refugees from /r/DaystromInstitute to startrek.website.

Not banned but I like here more. I left during the Exodus/ blackouts/shutdowns. In another life I was a mod for a moderately successful sub and after going into the rabbit hole and seeing the app timer increase to hours a day, I felt they could at least gift mods premium and they could skip ads. After some drama and a high caliber mod left the sub, I followed shortly after as the community has grown and changed.
