My understanding is that it's due (at least in part) to some pretty aggressive censorship that's been going on over there. Especially with regard to Luigi and related topics.
I'm also curious to hear if I'm wrong or if there's other stuff at play too
That's precisely why I'm here. I deleted my Reddit account a few days ago, after I got several subreddit bans for upvoting Luigi related posts/comments that had no violent context. Just the name. One of them was a picture of the actual Nintendo character. After that I was like "fuck it, I'm done".
Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
That and some popular Reddit posts urging us all to come here - I've seen a bunch of people who came here from the same post I did and at least one other. Woohoo! I know I'm also particularly primed to make changes like this right now, I've been working on getting away from more of the crappy capitalists recently
Was the reddit post about this specific instance or do you mean Lemmy in general?
Lemmy in general
Yeah, this was the last straw for me. Sorta embarrassed it took me this long to ditch Reddit, I should have done it as soon as the API was killed
