    Was thinking of trying something like Reddit. And I never imagined I would like a platform this much… And I’m also glad that I came to Lemmy instead of using Reddit

    Got banned from Lemmygrad
    because I’m not a US progressive,
    as I’m not pro-US unless the country is given back the land to the indigenous people.

    Reddit’s bot detection bot banned me for being a bot. The irony was too much.

    First set of accounts on reddit perma banned for discussing jiujitsu technique - inciting violence.
    Second set of accounts on reddit perma banned for recommending a lady with a stalker problem use her American freedom and get a gun for home defense - You know what you did type response.

    I was already on Lemmy when my subs shut down to protest the API blackout.

    Because reddit shut its api access off and “rif is fun for reddit” stopped working, duh.

    I just want to see less bots and find real community and conversations. I also love the concept of decentralized platforms. I feel like the Internet mostly isn’t even real. I miss what it was like 15+ years ago.

    Reddit destroying third party apps was the last straw for me. So, I hopped on kbin and some Lemmy instances. Reddit continues to degrade, and Reddit mods are annoying.

    RIP Aaron Swartz (Reddit removed him as a founder).

      Yup. I still miss my rif app. It just felt like such a bad decision. Especially limiting NSFW. I needed to try something else.

      It wasn’t just that. I used the first party app so the API changes didn’t affect me. It was how bad they handled the whole situation that made me lose faith that reddit was going in a good direction. That thread “addressing” the changes and concerns was brutal.

    Someone linked to lemmygrad on r/latestagecapitalism. I looked at both lemmy and lemmygrad (this was pre-federation) and realized that the “hard-coded slur filter” was genius.

      Never seen the term apicalypse and just had to say it’s fantastic.

      That was my fediverse cohort too.

      Same. I could only reddit through Boost.

      Typing this from Boost for Lemmy :)

    Reddit killed third party apps and I refused to use their shit app. It all just stinks of enshitification. So I spun up my own instance of Lemmy and haven’t looked back.
