I’m just curious why some people come here; in my case, it’s because it’s not the same as on centralized platforms. I love these kinds of forums.
For the michmichs
Got pissed at corporate social media for the way they’ve accelerated the damage being done to our already degraded public discourse but I still needed somewhere to doomscroll and find… gifs… of… nothing in particular…
Suspicious
API apocalypse, stuck around and rediscovered my enjoyment for linux and got into selfhosting. Also become even more anti-corporate lol. I get less content, but I probably was on reddit too much before anyway lol so it’s self moderating in a way.
I grew up on forums and 4chan
…are you me?
Cuz got perma banned from r*edit. I argued with one of the many power tripping mods. Anyway my mental health is a lot better after the switch
Got shadow banned from Reddit for Luigi support last December
To yell at delusional leftists who are misrepresenting progressive ideals and actions and roleplaying online instead of going out and making friends and reforming community, the thing we desperately need to combat actual fascism. I hate the circle-jerking and avoidant-personalities being allowed to thrive without pushback. This is bigger than all of us and yet the people with any shred of intelligence are doing everything but what we need to do.
That’s why you got on Lemmy? How did you even hear about this den of delusional leftists.
There there, it will be okay.
What a non answer lol
I don’t play stupid games.
I’d describe what you’re doing right now as a stupid game 🤷
You decided to feel preemptively offended. Don’t play dumb(er).
Lmfao what a jackass, I find it very strange someone would hear about a leftist space and think “I should make an account there so I can argue with them because I think they’re not actually left” and then proceed to actually say that’s why they joined. It seems very strange yes.
Then to respond like this when asked lmfao
Reddit killed the app I used.
Same. Used Reddit Is Fun for like 11 years or something. Haven’t looked back. The most I’ll do is search for an answer for something and check a reddit thread if it shows up in the results.
I’m another ex-RiF user. In hindsight it was a good thing Reddit killed the third party apps. I honestly don’t think I would have joined Lemmy if I was still able to use Reddit Is Fun.

RIP Baconreader
Try Boost, it’s pretty similar (might have to tweak a couple settings)
I switched to iOS along the way, but Boost is still my favorite Reddit, now Lemmy client. I wish they would make their way to iOS.
They burned down Boost for Reddit, and Boost for Lemmy rose from the ashes
Fuck Spez
I left reddit when they shut down the 3rd party readers. I don’t like ads, and I wasn’t willing to compromise and use their shitty app, so I came here and haven’t looked back since!
Was banned permanently from Reddit for correctly identifying a certain South African billionaire’s political leanings.
Left reddit as part of usa boycot. No regrets.
Reddit has just been steadily declining in quality the past few years.
The bullshit with the api and 3rd party apps was the start of it for me. I use to love alien blue. Then came the censorship… I’ve gotten two warnings so far within maybe a year of each other about upvoting, not making a comment or a post that would be offensive, inappropriate, or alarming but a fucking up vote. Apparently it violates a Reddit rule. Best part… they won’t even fucking tell me what I upvoted that was so egregious.
That was the final straw for me.
I can help you spoof the API and get your favorite third party app going again, if you really want. I was using RIF up until a few weeks ago. Still works too, I just got banned and decided it wasn’t worth it to start over.
why a lot of people migrated here, right? By the way, I like you, I’ll follow you :D
The API thing. I was using RIF for a very long time at that point and had no intention of using the official Reddit app.
Saaame
wow, nobody mentioned the open source thing yet. I’m here because I really like the open source thing and the idea of federated servers run by hobbyists.
I’m very appreciative of this. I want the people in charge here, not billionaires and CEOs.
the 3party killstreak. My app got some workarounds later but decided against reddit
