So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn't do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.

I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)

I was one of seemingly few uses who actually left permanently after they killed the API after ~10 years of daily use.

Same, 11+ years. 🫡 The more time goes on the prouder I am of leaving as soon as I did. Seems like it very quickly turned into a much worse place.

I also left after the api drama after 9 years and many thousands of comments.

I’m happy with my move to lemmy. There are some rough areas in the tech and definitely some personalities to watch out. But I think the experience is good

Nice! 🤝

Yeah, I'm happy to work with/around the kinks and bug report when I can if I run into weirdness.

And yeah, some weirdos are inevitably on here as well, I've already had the displeasure of running into several of them. I tag them and make sure I don't interact after that.

it was downhill when they allow propaganda bots to flood the site from '18, one of the first purges of the time was around that time.
