Been here since the initial API exodus. It's been pretty good so far. I hope you like it as much as I do. Welcome!

remember kids:
A place in heaven is reserved for those who speak truth to power
Reddit needed you more than you needed Reddit. The moment you are slightly less efficient advertising money, they told you to hit the road. When people tell you who they really are, you should listen.
That's a good point. Reddit needs humans, they're forgetting that part. Maybe the shareholders are too stupid to figure that out yet?
I closed my account 2 weeks ago after being there for 13+ years. Thousands and thousands of comments and posts. Oh well, I don't even miss it a little bit. It truly became garbage when they locked out free API access. This banning for liking Luigi or shit talking Elon is so against what reddit was about, they've lost their way and I refuse to participate.
Glad I left Reddit I got banned for asking someone if they were threatening someone else.
I keep getting banned for the most ridiculously benign comments. They aren't serious adults there.
Exactly. Makes it pointless.
I got out recently too, albeit before actually getting ban-hammered. Given how new I am, it's not really my place, but..: Welcome!
Free Luigi.
Fuck reddit.
Fuck spez.
Welcome! Yep, I like this place a lot more - higher quality, lower volume.
I check back over on Reddit every so often and it's exactly as you say. It's probably impossible to stop the quality death spiral over there.
Welcome, hope you like it here. Reddit kinda went down the drain after the API exodus.
Welcome! I've been here since the API fiasco killed everything but their app.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit, I like it.
Welcome. Lemmy is like Reddit but the lemmings are more dogmatic and sensitive.
I left reddit a few months ago. I wish I never gave reddit a minute of my time.
Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.
Welcome, sincerely happy to have you. Now go post your favorite interests.
How did you learn of Lemmy?
Welcome.
I've been here since November. Loving it.
Your comments actually get responses on this platform. Whereas 90% of your Reddit comments will never be seen, much less interacted with.
The downfall of Reddit is well underway.
Elon started to repressure reddit again on criticism against him just recently
You forgot fuck spez
Yeah I deleted my 13 year old account in 2024 and honestly, good riddance.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the fediverse!
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
I got tired of how mean the comments became...
It honestly feels like the transition from Digg to Reddit way back when. If you're on iPhone, I am using Voyager and have been happy with it.
I've never looked back. Welcome
Yep similar story for me, except this was long ago. I got warned several times for suggesting we should kill and eat rich people. But I kept doing it, and so here I am.
