'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I’m glad that most redditors didn’t move to lemmy.
I still have a Reddit account that I use to follow NBA news and discussions, but I found myself going there less and less over time because most of the content is just so damn repetitive. The bots are really going into overdrive as of late, and it’s making most of the big subs unusable. A lot of the small subs aren’t any better because they’re either controlled by some terminally online powermods or they’re some extremely unhinged echo chamber. That being said, Lemmy isn’t any better, but at least it’s more private and less corporate.
remember since this election, they have purging like crazy, up until may. people are still addicted to reddit, but lemmy also gained like 10k+? people from tha tpurge.
I started going there way less after the API restrictions because my favourite client stopped working. Then, I got banned and found out there was a better alternative — Lemmy.

I mean, I sure did
Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy
Yep, I’m a redfugee myself
Nobody hates Reddit more than redditors.

Some subreddits have become completely impossible to post to. Your posts get deleted right away.
Plus, the option to default to Old Reddit doesn’t work anymore. So fuck them.
I mean, I did. This is my 3rd account, after beehaw and then blahaj.

That’s when I left. Haven’t turned back
Same
Some did leave, just not nearly as many compared to the numbers that claimed they would.
Thats when I left and made a Lemmy account instead.

I jumped ship to Lemmy once they instituted the ‘upvotes can get you banned’ policy.
