As in, why here and not reddit? I drifted away from posting on reddit about 5 - 8 years ago. I was icky over their ads and tracking and it was just a time sink I didn’t need back then, but I would still use alternate frontends (the current equivalent would be libreddit) to lurk while on the train trip to work and back.
I forget whether I found lemmy from /r/piracy exploring bunker options (raddle and lemmy) or if it was through FOSS, but I liked its potential and have been here posting here since 2022.
Reddit banned r/chapotraphouse for saying “slaveowners should be killed”
Got banned on Lemmygrad for being hitler. Most of my family considers me Stalin.
Lemmygrad is Lemmy
Yet I’m no longer allowed to post on lemmygrad for saying that the US democrat party has been taken over by olifeminists and transsexualists, while the republican party is now occupied by olimachoists and zionists. They are no longer left and right, just right and right.
I’m still allowed to post here though.
Because Kbin isn’t around anymore
oh wow I quite liked kbin. what happened?
The person writing it had some personal and medical problems. I wish I could help him out because he brought me to the fediverse.
I heard he was having some issues with his health insurance. He said something about taking matters into his own hands, whatever that means.
Reddit went ban happy and nuked my 13 year old account over attempting to appeal a mod power tripping over an innocent comment they didn’t like.
Which was after the api think killed RiF
Reddit banned me. They hate anti capitalists and anti fascists
API issue made me leave, AI scraping posts and forcing ads made me stay away.
AI is definitely already here. AI will be scraping anything public facing it can reach
I left Twitter and Reddit and I found Lemmy and Mastadon. Lemmy is going much better than Mastadon.
I’m new here, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was reddit getting rid of r/random. Also more reposts than new content. Also feels like there are more bots than people. Plenty of other anti-user stuff over the years.
I ain’t gots nowhere else to go.
Banned from Reddit?
Big, centrally owned platforms aren’t a good idea.
Reddit did some API nonsense, and that was when I left there. I was already off twitter, and never used facebook stuff.
I need somewhere for my meme and internet highlights supply, and lemmy has been ok so far.
The lack of accountability of mods on reddit. Reddit doesn’t want to lose their free labor.
Because I love sync
