Ask Lemmy

I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I'm not banned but I might as well be.

I like Lemmy better. There's a lot more effort to have value when you post and have conversations rather than arguments.

But the porn collection over here isn't great yet.

With the recent US autocratization, its a good idea to keep a maintream profile (such as reddit) without any politics on the account (a decoy). Just in case the authorities start asking for social medias. No social media would make you look "suspicious". And since Lemmy is only used by leftists, you're gonna look guilty by association.

I'm honestly not surprised if EU countries start to ask for social medias in the future, authoritarian surveillance behaviors is not limited to fascism, even "liberal" countries use mass surveillance. I have a bad feeling "Chat Control" is gonna pass, it only goes downhill from there.

I still have my reddit account for niche stuff, but I overwrote all my comments with gibberish so they couldn't use my words to train anything. I could definitely give up my reddit if push came to shove.

Left due to the crowd amassed for my country's sub. I became friend with a few regulars there when the sub is small, but these day they're significantly more and more people with a lack of common sense and logical thinking gathered there it's hard to find new friend, to the point the friends i met just decided to lurk or quit. No more fun.

Then API fiasco happened and since i hate the official app so much as it's significantly slower with horrible UI, it's a final push for me to make the jump.

I wouldn't say i like lemmy more, but it's the one i tolerate now. If the main dev became unbearable then i jump again.

I like lemmy's culture more, but I still browse reddit

Wanted to quit Reddit and the censoring of anything critical of Elon game me the impetus.

I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can't find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.

I'm on both, I like both. Been liking Reddit less and less over the years, I expect at some point I'll stop going, but for now it's still okay.

I was never on reddit

I tried to get banned with my last couple posts but they ignored them I guess. Account is still there.

I was here when Lemmur was still maintained, under a different username off course.. same thing with Friendica, I'm waiting for Facebook to fuck up..

Still on reddit but deleted all but 7 comments on my reddit account and i spend way more time on Lemmy.
