So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.

They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.

I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.

Base model app is shit.

Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.

Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.

I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.

Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.

And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.

Adios.

Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.

Rant over lol.

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!

    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.

    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.

    I keep getting banned for the most ridiculously benign comments. They aren't serious adults there.

    I got out recently too, albeit before actually getting ban-hammered. Given how new I am, it's not really my place, but..: Welcome!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
