Moved from reddit because reddit is now infested with old twitter people who are just so annoying. Also I like the idea of a non centralized social media.

I'll be honest I came to the platform before the whole API-pocolypse because Reddit was down for about half a day, and I was getting tired of Reddit's BS. But ultimately the API-pocolypse made me swear never to post to Reddit again and cut it cold turkey, more or less.

I too moved over during the api hulabaloo but I only used the website. I just was pretty sick of it and when I looked at the federation I was like. this is fine. Many folks want more numbers but I can take it or leave it as I like the sorta in crowd we got going.

Saw the direction Reddit was going in. Decided to join Lemmy to see what was going on. 2 months later I was axed from Reddit. Now here, I live.

I got banned from one of my favorite subreddits, which made it a lot less fun over there.

left because of api changes and their increasing censorship of content they don't like (I miss r/all having r/eyeblech).

I also left after the api access changes. I am so glad I switched, this a much more ethical model of operation.

Two years ago. Haven't looked back. Much

Technically me, even though they eventually reversed it after appealing the ban 4 separate times (banned for "violence" for commenting "same" on a picture of a woman in a shirt that says "Punch a Nazi.") That whole thread showed that the admin staff of the site have nazis and/or Nazis sympathizers among them and I don't vibe with that shit. Once the API thing went through and RIF stopped working, I came here.

Came to Lemmy when reddit fucked up the api change. Month ago my Lemmy instance closed up so I moved to piefed instead as I find it more acceptable (take it as you want).

12. It was 12 people.

I came here after deciding to quit reddit. I'm Canadian. I had no problems with reddit other than Trump's threats to annex (invade) Canada. I'm also joining my national brothers and sisters in the tariff boycotts.

I was banned for calling out an antisemetic dogwhistle in an anime sub. Asking why I was banned instead of the other person led to a permanent sitewide ban.

Got banned for opposing genocide and Western imperialism in a main subreddit. 🤷
