    Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there’s less content so I don’t scroll as much.

    I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this “I had 1500 karma coins” or whatever)

    no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn’t going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don’t need reddit.

    Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I’ve engaged way more here than I ever did there

    I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.

    I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.

    banned

    decided to finally try the alternative

    So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor

    I don’t think I’m banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see

      Same; haven’t looked at reddit since I came here (other than the occasional search engine question where a reddit thread has the info)
