    I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.

      For someone saying karma doesn’t mean anything you’re sure farming lots of it! Making good comments and shit worthy of upvotes! You’re quite a terrible hypocrite!

        Ironically (though it’s hard to tell) I think their profile picture may be Hypocrites.

      But obv the smartest most helpful ppl on any given topic have old reddit accounts with a lot of karma so they can post? That prob killed amas too, celebs prob didnt have enough karma to make a post

    I just joined Lemmy today. I found out about it through a piracy site of all things. If it were viable I would replace everything in my life with open-source alternatives. I’m tired of companies getting greedy and ruining the things I love.

      Welcome to Lemmy! Just by being here you’re about to find out (whether you like it or not!) just how viable it is to replace (almost) everything in your life with open source alternatives, it’s just seems to be part of the (awesome) culture around here. Enjoy!

    I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn’t like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

    Edit: damn it’s almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

    Edit: I can’t believe cm0002 copied your exact same post

    It’s not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

    I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn’t feel that strongly about it.

      Dito, still have RIF installed on my phone so every time I click a reddit link im reminded of what they did with a 403: forbidden error. I like it better over here anyway, nicer people who give a shit and fewer bots (or atleast fewer obvious ones).

      Same here. I wasn’t even using a 3rd party app, just left because of the shitty behavior. Uninstalled the app and never logged in again. I was on Reddit daily, I’m on Lemmy daily now.

    I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I’m glad I didn’t wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn’t happen.

    I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes

    Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.

    It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.
