cuz i was banned from reddit
Reddit killed “rif is reddit is fun for reddit” or whatever it was called
This right fucking here. Never forget. o7
They killed the third party app I used and the dev migrated it to Lemmy
The Reddit app was (and probably still is) a horrendous cacophony of dark patterns, so Reddit died that day for me because there was no longer a way for me to use it on my phone that wouldn’t give me an aneurism
I joined when reddit killed third party apps, and then compared the existing volunteer mod teams that was following what their revolting user-base wanted, to a landed gentry while also threatening to reopen closed reddit’s that had voted via their user-base to close in regards to this protest.
I came across the link in a protest forum, saw the general flow of tech based things and decided to give it a try.
When reddit announced API changes. Glad I left because it is a hellhole now
When I couldn’t use reddit is fun anymore, reddit wasn’t fun.
API
Got banned from reddit for telling someone to crawl back into their hole (which is apparently a euphemism for telling someone to kill themselves???) for defending circumcision while saying female genital mutilation was unacceptable.
They thought mutilating baby penises was fine but not baby vaginas. So I called out the hypocrisy and told them to “crawl back into [their] hole”.
Been here ever since.
It’s still one of the cultural norms I don’t fully understand why it’s lasted as a practice for so long. I would have thought that it would become a rare practice by 2020. Nope. That being said, I have noticed an uptick of ‘people’ online voicing their disapproval of any baby mutilation.
Standing up for men seems to be a sore spot for the admins.
I got banned sitewide for reporting egregious misandry of the “kill all men” sort.
The 3rd party API ban that made my favorite app RiF (reddit is fun) go belly up. I went to reddit after digg did the same thing the digg v2.
the api thing that happened 2 years ago
I banned reddit
Because of the API changes made during July of 2023 killing my Reddit app of choice (RIF is fun), their own first party app being garbage, and Reddit’s CEO lying about a conversation with another third party app developer (the developer of Apollo I think).
I love decentralization and I hate Reddit. The Venn diagram overlaps in Lemmy.
Also fuck u/spez
Like many, first came over with the big reddit wave when Reddit changed API policy. It did not stick right away. It would take three attempts of getting into Lemmy and Sync making an app for it. I still use reddit for some videogame specific subs but otherwise I’v stopped looking at /all on reddit and will just browse here instead.
Same as everyone else, I came over with the API refugees. I still lurk on Reddit using Brave (that and YT are the only things I use Brave for) because some communities there are still good fountains of information. I don’t post or vote on anything there, though.
Still have Apollo on my phone though.
I got permabanned from Reddit for criticizing Israel.
