    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

    Edit: did you really just copy the same post as? There’s no karma like on reddit you know that right?

    Left due to the crowd amassed for my country’s sub. I became friend with a few regulars there when the sub is small, but these day they’re significantly more and more people with a lack of common sense and logical thinking gathered there it’s hard to find new friend, to the point the friends i met just decided to lurk or quit. No more fun.

    Then API fiasco happened and since i hate the official app so much as it’s significantly slower with horrible UI, it’s a final push for me to make the jump.

    I wouldn’t say i like lemmy more, but it’s the one i tolerate now. If the main dev became unbearable then i jump again.

    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 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.

    Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲

    My opinions on a certain orange thing were a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.

    I over-wrote and then deleted my nearly 20 years of posts/comments and then deleted my account.

    I still have my reddit account for niche stuff, but I overwrote all my comments with gibberish so they couldn’t use my words to train anything. I could definitely give up my reddit if push came to shove.

    I still have my reddit account, but I nearly exclusively use it for a closed, non-public group I am in for nearly a decade.

    But I have moved my focus to Lemmy.

    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 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 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.

    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.

      I haven’t been on reddit for a long time. When you say “offered stock options”, do you mean they offered you the opportunity to invest in stock, or discounted stock, or free stock?

    I’ve still got an account. But I jumped over during the API debacle. I’m sure if I stayed I would have been banned for commenting on the Luigi situation, or calling Musk and Trump out for the dimwitted little Nazi fucks they are.

    But I’m here! A proud little lemming just feeling blessed AF to be here with all you nerds!
