The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.
Good, Reddit has no place in the stock market and no amount of enshittification can save them from this fate.
The value of Reddit is the content which it is able to create. If users aren’t free to create content, there is not value.
Fuck Reddit.
Good. I got banned just today for “inciting violence” then when I asked what I did they couldn’t tell me. Musk pressuring spez into harsher moderation is probably part of why I was actually banned. I followed every rule but was active in left wing communities and it seems that’s enough to be deplatformed under the trump regime.
Oh yea the generic “site wide ban message doesnt even tell you what the violation was” i think it gives reddit arbitrary and vague reasoning to ban you.
Holy shit, me too.
They said I threatened violence because in a thread about Putin potentially being sick, I said I wished he had a painful slow death.
Apparently even bloodthirsty dictators get to have their poor feelings protected by Reddit.
Fuck Reddit! I’m just gonna abandon that shit platform
you got brigaded by pro-russian bots, and yes russian backed trolls do mass report people too.
I had two main accounts. My oldest account got permabanned for a joke about Nick Fuentes. After his address got doxxed and he pepper sprayed a woman who rang his doorbell back in December of last year, I said “hey as an incel he should be happy that the ladies know where he lives now so they can share a cocktail with him”, and I added a cartoon gif of a Molotov. It was obviously a joke, but they said it was “promoting/glorifying violence”. I ate the bullet on that one because they were technically right, even if they were a bunch of humorless twats.
My other account got banned about a month ago when I up voted a comment that was just a picture of Luigi Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. Again for “promoting/glorifying violence”.
Elon Musk is a weak little crybaby and Steve Huffman is a pathetic coward.
sounds like you were part of the ban waves going on. there was one around the election, another around DEC mid, we noticed because reddit was extremely quiet of all propaganda for like a day or 2.
Wait… What?
Sure, the first example is understandable.
The second!? WTF!?
Yeah they’ve come out and said recently that even interacting with any content or comments that could so much as be perceived as being related to Luigi Mangione is a violation of Reddits policies against promoting violence. People have been getting warnings that their accounts are in danger of being permanently banned just for visiting certain subs. Not for posting. Not for commenting. Not even for voting. Just for visiting.
Truly out of 1984.
basically the thought police.
Idek wtf i said lmaoo. Atleast you got told you were deplatformed for daring to disagree with the regime. I just got shown the door. This place seems much nicer though.
a ludicrous ban, is when i got “temp banned for report abuse” turns out if you report too many people who have spreading misinformaiton or lies, you get automatically flagged. the community is keeping the trolls in check, while mods and reddit admins sititng on thier asses of selective moderation.
and we know certain subs, are owned by a few power mods. LEO controls multiude of mods about crime and law subs(this includes the videos subs). askdoc is probably the only sub/medical is correctly moderated, they do it to prevent pseudoscience/ misinformation, one time after '16 election, someone try to analyze Hillaries facial movements as having some kind of stroke(the mods shut that down very quick)
The excuse to ban someone over reporting will never not be hilarious to me. Like dawg, sorry were making you do your fucking job and improve your site.
Well, I had enough of this bullshit, and together with news that Reddit’s CEO was pressured by Musk of all people to curb dissent, I just deleted my accounts.
Bye Reddit.
I’m 100% a Lemmee guy now
Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.
I’m not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I’ve read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for “inciting violence” is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to “go to hell where Nazis belong”. Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of “no” to my unban request.
This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it’s the plague. Digg died because of bad decisions. Reddit seems like it’s gonna become 4chan but for the mainstream. I don’t know if it’ll die. I think they’re purging anyone that has leftist profiles.
2nd richest, many people believe mr PUTIN IS, AND he does have the largest troll farm in existence(which is the reason why many countries in the mess they are right now. and Musks master is putin, since hes likely funded twitter purchase, musk have been seen with one of putins propaganda chiefs in qatar right after it was bought.
I’m just sad that I’m leaving all the marvel and action figure collector communities i was apart of behind. But yeah I don’t plan on going back. It’s gonna become infested with nazis sooner or later anyway.
Yeah that’s probably for the best. I say this with no judgement as a former WoW addict. It’s the time to do shit in the real world and get organized to resist these Fascist. Hit up PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) or DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) in your area. If anything it will give you a social life on Friday/Saturday (usually when they have meetups for PSL in my experience). PSL in my area even organized child care during meetups/protests.
Also, your local SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) if you have one. Basically the only place to train with a weapon that isn’t filled with MAGA hats. But they have literally been overwhelmed since November so might have to deal with hogs in another course if you’re interested in that. Again, depends on your location.
That’s my experience trying to explore real life anyway. Your path might be different. Plenty of mutual aids to join. Lots of local organizations of any kind our leading the charge to resist ICE. Depending on your location that might be a Mosque, Synagogue, Church, Temple, etc. (Thats one of the main reasons they now legally allow ICE to raid them. Which is FUBAR.) Find out what works for you in your area.
You’re probably right. I’m already armed so I’ll probably check out some groups. I’ve been meaning to link up with some irl left leaning groups. Shouldn’t be hard since I’m not far from Chicago.
Absolutely. Good luck comrade
Thanks !
I was Permanently banned for harassment because I asked a mod why they banned me.
Mind you, I’d ask, and they’d mute me for a week straight instead of just pointing out what got me banned.
lol I pray for their downfall; this news pleases me.
Some mods are in cahoots with the admins, so they can just exaggerate the seriousness of a report and get people banned.
I’m fairly certain they misled investors on their last earnings call. I noticed some banned accounts suddenly had their ban lifted right before the call, and then reapplied right after.
On the last investor call, they said they had a lot of returning users. This was after their election ban hammers, and prior to the Luigi ban fest.
Can’t wait to see how they try to spin things on the next one.
They can just count all them bots as active users. Much like twitter
They’ve banned all of the good people that made up the site. I used to do Secret Santa. For 10 years! And I had mothers thank me for making their kids holidays. And they banned me. Because I made a death joke about how old McConnell was. Dude looks like death walking. Prove me wrong.
I was a good user. Dark humor isn’t hurting anyone. Reddit will die. Just like every other popular site.
I was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to “VERBOSE”.
I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to “what is true in your line of work that you can’t say”. My answer was that (edit: as I work in a highly female-dominated field of social work 30 women for every man)… non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that “men are the violent ones” when the reality is all people are violent, and there’s a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for “advocating violence”.
Edit oops I edited the wrong comment lol
I reported a comment for basically saying that men are the only violent sex, and they temp-banned me for abusing the reporting system. The explanation message (canned, I’m sure) said that abusively reporting people is a form of harassment or bullying, or something like that.
Eat shit reddit, and fuck spez.
edit: Based on my experience and what others are saying, I have to wonder, were they trying to burn it down from the inside?
I don’t think they are trying to sabotage their own products. It really is that they’re not smart enough to see where is the value is. And this is kind of understandable, right? The underlying software has been copied already. It’s out there. If that company has value it’s only the user base. But that puts management in the strange situation where everything they are doing to make money is making their own product worse. And they kind of know it, right? But they can’t admit it. They can’t think about it clear. Their own mental stability relies on ignoring the obvious truths that they see and read every day.
I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.
I believe I was warned once for that same comment, and banned on another account. I was saying the same thing violence in relationship are overwhelming men in every way. Sure there is done by women
Consider conducting some actual research and study, instead of deciding your and biased ideas represent reality.
The fact is that in terms of frequency non-males are worst. Males more severe physical damage per incident.
But don’t argue with me here, if you wanted actual knowledge on the subject you’d have it already.
Sounds about right. The fact Reddit is killing off its best users is just a sign that Lemmy can bring us all back together.
Not to be cynical, but the same human sludge on Reddit is now here. There’s a major problem with the collective consciousness that a new platform won’t solve.
Reddit didn’t die because of them though. He died because they got rid of everyone else.
I’ve bumped into some of them. But I’d say there isn’t a bot infestation of fake users. Yet.
They are all concentrated on the tankie and conservative communitiesm

DNC started astroturfing heavy around 2015 and kept pushing. It’s been an entire decade of slop on that hellsite
Dnc isn’t on Reddit much, which is a separate issue the the GOP have successfully coopted all social media, thats why they are in power
Lmao you’re willfully ignorant or a shill. DNC has been running propaganda for a decade now on Reddit. Shareblue is a thing.
Just avoid the political instances , especially ones of .ml
I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I’ve got a lot of political words blacklisted and it’s made browsing All much more pleasant.
Incels are quite overly sensitive when it’s a women talking about violence against women by men, they brigade and try troll people. Askedddit also banned me, for because the sub was asking something about an actor, and I was explaining how a Star Trek actor made the show about herself( Beverly crusher) people don’t like how their holy trek role model was criticized.
Askreddit is extremely sensitive when it comes to politics, feminism and never toxic masculinity, 12yo boys sexual curiosity
Aren’t those kinds of decisions made in the writers’ room, though?
I left with my 14 year old account after they banned third party apps. Moderating large communities (1M+) with the official app was impossible, and I was moderating 3 of those, plus a bunch of smaller ones. I did Secret Santa 4 or 5 times (move countries frequently for my job, so it wasn’t always feasible), and still have the Guinness World records certificate somewhere, plus a lot of free merch from the mod appreciation giveaways back when they weren’t a shitcorp. Leaves quite the bad aftertaste.
Pretty sure that by now I’d have been banned as well, I never held back with dark humor and speaking out against evil corpos. In a way I’m glad I left on my own terms before it all went fully to hell.
I used to mod a million plus sub. How on earth could you do it without 3rd party tools? I am very happy here. It’s nice to be able to talk to real people again.
Oh we did use third party tools, and there were 5-8 moderators depending on which sub. I just loved the mod queue on reddit sync to just approve/delete reports on the go. Since I’m in Asia I often got them before my US counterparts, so could clean up the queue early on.
Now many of the major subs are concentrated to a less than 100 mods , which controls over 500+ subs.
I was a 12 year member with nearly a million karma. I was permabannef right after the inauguration, for repeating an anti-HitlerPig opinion I’d repeating numerous times before he was elected.
I came to Lemmy and found out I wasnt alone, i was part of a bloodbath. I’ve seen posts from many people with 10+ year accounts who were banned. We’re the people who built that site, and made it what it was. Somehow we managed to be active for over a decade without a problem, but suddenly we all became violators in the same month, and need to be banned.
Now we find out Spaz wants to buy TikTok, AND The MuskRat threatened him. No doubt the threat was that if he had a prayer of being awarded the privilege of buying TikTok, he was going to have to obey, and violate Reddit’s foundational free speech mission. The classic Reddit is dead.
He didn’t need musk threatening him. He was already killing Reddit with his whole “we want to float it on the stock market so we’d better get rid of all of the good content” fixation.
And frankly he was a shit stain even before that, remember how hard it was to get them to ban CP subs?
Thanks for the warning. Spaz buys tiktok and I delete it. Bout to already, honestly.
I created throw away and many main acts in case one gets banned, I usually avoid the permansub bans with new acts, until much later. So I’m also hearing that reddit links your accounts with strangers, if they get banned all your accounts get banned (( if you commented on any of the subs that the stranger was on)
And they deserve to die out like MySpace. Fuck Reddit!!
And Facebook meta.
I really wish Facebook could truly die. That will likely happen in another 10 years.
I contributed to Reddit for 4 years and I got banned supposedly for posting putting down a bull terrier that violently attacked a family member and their was a child in the family,
I have a suspicion that my negative political comments about what is happening in Government may have been the real reason
All my friends that were on Reddit have been banned they are all good people with views
No free speech on Reddit it will gradually die
Genuine question but how can we trust our respective lemmy instance to not be as corrupt?
There’s no money in running a lemmy instance. Donations are unlikely to pay for the costs, much less a living. Also, you can always switch instances, although for this reason it is concerning how big lemmy.world is in comparison to other instances
It’s weird how they allowing Sinese to promote himself, he acts like hes weirdly a Veteran, just because he was in the infamous movie, of course he’s a Republican around the same time stewart was supporting vets. I was saying he was virtue signalling so hard.
Either you die a hero or lives long enough to become the villain…
Appears to apply to companies, too
Hey cool beans we’re the direct result of that! What good news!
I trust reddit as far as I can throw it these days.
Gee, that’s too bad. It would be a real shame if that piece of human garbage Steve Huffman lost everything. A crying shame.
Sadly I’m sure he already has a golden parachute prepared.
They all cashed out after the IPO. They’re probably laughing at the bag holders right now.
There may still be lawsuits, however. There are still many ways that he could lose a lot of what he gained.
🤞
I think you mean presidential pardons
i remember spez and his c-suites dumped the stock a while ago.
He’ll cry his way to a trophy home and yacht
Ewww
Lets keep this about Rampart.
Heve Stuffman
He will exit filthy rich way before that. That’s the point.
Would he not have already sold most when they went public?
I’m not sure why anyone would ever buy Reddit stock. There is no money to be made in Reddit. They failed to make any money before they went public, and they’re failing to make any money now.
They tried the whole NFT thing, failed. They’re trying to sell the data to AI companies but once that’s sold they can’t sell any more of it because the benefit of Reddit data was historical data unpolluted by AI, but new Reddit data is polluted by ChatGPT posts and is therefore worth less.
It’s not even about banning people, it’s about the fact that Reddit was never a sustainable business model from the start, at least not in the traditional capitalist sense where you’re actively trying to make a profit to please shareholders.
The only benefit to owning Reddit stock is if you have voting shares and can manipulate the algorithm to benefit you in some way. Suppress some voices, amplify others to back what you want to do etc. but you need money to burn in order to achieve that because you aren’t going to be making money directly by owning Reddit stock and manipulating public opinion takes time.
its only use now is a propaganda machine, much like X is now, or it will be soon like X.
It’s not even about banning people, it’s about the fact that Reddit was never a sustainable business model from the start, at least not in the traditional capitalist sense where you’re actively trying to make a profit to please shareholders
If they’d been stalwart about banning automation and keeping original, legit human content pure, they probably could have used it as a fountain of fresh data for AI, for polling, for engagement farming, and for promotion.
The site was still growing even despite the admin induced atrophy. But they just couldn’t resist killing the Golden Goose.
the mistake was allowing mods to have too much power, and admins to become mods.
I disagree that Reddit would gain in value over time if they kept banning automation, because it is increasingly difficult to avoid AI-generated material polluting your dataset, no matter how much you avoid automation and try banning it. Inevitably, some AI-generated material is going to get in.
It’s a problem in two ways:
- The vast vast majority of data on Reddit has already been sold, so you can’t rely on that data for future revenue
- The remaining data that’s current is polluted by AI and is therefore worth less than the historical data because the more AI pollutes your dataset, the more likely it is to lead to Model Collapse, where an LLM is poisoned due to unverified data generated by other LLMs
I am firmly of the belief that sites like Internet Archive will be some of the most valuable companies in the AI space, because they hold an immense amount of untainted data created prior to 2019.
Except AI companies are already using data from Internet Archive wholesale with paying them a cent.
-
Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail
-
Stating that later this year they’re going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit
-
That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back
-
Their A.I. answers integration
-
Censoring users who mention ‘eat the rich’ and the name Luigi
-
No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub’s status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate
…who’d have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?
Fuck you, Reddit
Surprised r/Nintendo isn’t just straight up nuked.
Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn’t even make the list. Am I old now?
I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I’d learned my lesson at the time -__-
Full AI moderation is what killed it, it was liberally and indiscriminately banning people last month with the slightest indiscretions
-
It’s always been ridiculous to me that what is essentially a forum has shareholders. That’s why I left Reddit during the app debacle and haven’t looked back.
Corporate social media was a mistake. Genuinely, I lay a lot of why the state of the western world is the way it is at the feet of Zuckerberg and his peers.
Same. I’m not sure Lemmy is any better tho. I know, I’m a hypocrite.
It’s better in many ways, but one that I feel is quite important is that there’s no profit motive to keep users on the platform and engaging with advertisers for as long as possible, and therefore no need to develop the kind of exploitative algorithms that drive screen addiction and engagement through rage.
Right now it is ok. But I worry that AI will enshittify even the Feddiverse.
It’s inevitable, in part because of how easy AI will make bot farms and censorship. Really all the problems reddit has, we will see here and probably faster than the 10-15 years it took reddit. It wasn’t just policy that ruined reddit, it was capital interests and special interests. Groups dedicated to swaying opinion, taking over subs, banning and shadow banning users.
In it’s way, Lemmy will be easier to break because we’re all already slightly fragmented. Imagine your favorite instances getting taken over like r/undelete and then defederating all the other opposition servers. Or…becoming hostile like reddit.
Then we have the greater slide to fascism. SOME of what Reddit is doing is in line with simply trying to survive that. We have no idea what kind of controlling laws might come out that will shut down or police instances hosted in places like the US. Misinformation laws. All and all it’s a scary time.
I like lemmy because it feels like I’ve gone back 12 years or so to a better reddit. Back to old reddit. But really it’s just a matter of time.
I really think we’ve seen a pretty complete cycle of social media over the last 25 years. If you look at how we used it and how it is used in China, Russia, or NK. It’s been weaponized as much as monetized. Maybe more.
Reddit had shareholders before their IPO, they just weren’t public shareholders.
I mean, with all the censoring and pandering to Musk, allowing for entire bot swarms to the point it really becomes obvious it’s happening - who could have predicted this?
That’s right, kids. Allying yourself with fascist tendencies in any way, shape or form will hurt you in the long run. Just provide the damn service people are looking for and stop playing god, trying to use your platform to shape opinions and censor statements you or your buddies don’t like.
I left Reddit today. I’m not looking back. I’m absolutely done with these organizations that bow to fascist whimsy and demands. Pathetic stuff from Steve and the admins at Reddit. I hope their stock tanks and they lose their ass.
Reddit banned me for saying mean things about Elon and I’m not going back. Good riddance.
Same reason I left. Why hang around to get yelled at by bots about “living in a liberal Reddit echo chamber” WHILE the entire site is sucking fascist dick the entire time?
I remember when I got banned for saying that hey maybe it isn’t hate speech to say that Israel shouldn’t murder children.
Israel has killed more women and children than any other demographic. They have committed a genocide and the US president has called for an intensification and expansion of the genocide. Even going so far as to say he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
“You have been banned from r/worldnews for antisemitism and hate speech.”
I was chasing in R/pics that the OP was barking up the wrong tree about Gaza, blaming of course Biden but no Republicans ever
WTF. It’s israel’s right to murder innocent people! /s
Everything he does basically invites people to say mean stuff about him.
Perhaps he could just stop doing those things? Thinking out loud here,
Can I get a “fuck Elon the Felon” my fellow netizen?
Yeah I made the jump a while back with the API thing, welcome
I got banned in 2022 for hate speech against Cops. Ive been lurking with libreddit.
Did you know many subs are controlled by former and current Leo. Justiceserved, legal advice, publicfreakout,etc
If you like rap, or well, even if you don’t, listen to Death of a Constable by Brian Ennals and Infinity Knives.
Hey fam, I’m another Reddit refugee. I heard Lemmy is what Reddit was back in the day. Sad to see Reddit go to hell.
More or less. There aren’t as many bots, and everyone is generally aware of traditional Internet etiquette (i.e. don’t be an asshole). Lemmy also feels as homogenous as early Reddit: college-educated white people in western countries.
I started joining forums back in the late nineties and I’ve learned every place on the Internet is in flux. Things always change. Back in the day, stuff would happen like we would lose hosting because someone got sick of running a niche phpBB forum or the moderation team would change. When social media kicked off, changes were driven by money. Facebook was a big gaming platform in my college years (Farmville), which feels completely foreign to today’s Facebook.
The smaller the community, the more stable it is. Some of those 20-year forums still exist, albeit in a much more diminished state. If a site/platform gets popular, that’s when things can change quickly.
Lemmy has already changed since I joined and I’m sure it will become something different in the future.
If it makes you feel any better, Reddit is and always has been shit. From their “fake it till you make it” days to the “narwhals and bacon” and then the RealFeelz™ community make-believe. It’s the people that made it what it was, the platform has always been a steaming loaf of shit.
edit: Oh wait, how could I forget the ViolentAcrez days. The LARPing mental case that had 300 accounts and VPNs before most knew what that was, and spent his entire LIFE trolling until he got found out by his employer who very publicly humiliated and fired his ass. The same fuckwit that Spez partnered with to run all kinds of scum subs like JailBait, etc. Reddit is shit, made by shit people. Good people accidentally found it now they’re leaving.
Edit… Oh what else? I was literally there before commenting so let me just see if I can pull from the steaming shit pile of reddit experiences I’ve had over the decades…
Does anybody remember her name? I want to say … S… Sahaya? Sahasha? I could be way off the beam so don’t let those guesses mislead you. There was a female who represented herself as a massive pillar of the community and posted almost 50% of the content. I and a few other people meticulously tracked down the fact that she in fact was an online marketer acting in a stealth capacity. The more savvy and experienced users at that time, remember this was like 2002-4(?), we could see through the ruse based on the pattern of her posting. Literally within 10 minutes of revealing the truth about her, she vanished, never to be seen again. So yeah literally the entirety of Reddit was a giant advertisement at first.
What else now? Let me have a few more bowls and I’ll see what else I can recall.
Welcome! I came in with the blackout a year or so ago, it’s been fun to see more people show up over the months!
Politics are hotter than old Reddit, but I guess that goes with the times.
The “federation” aspect is pretty different in a good way. You see a lot of integration with Mastadon, for instance, as the Fediverse is trying to integrate with itself, and each Lemmy instance is like a little fiefdom with its own flavor and subs, whereas Reddit was always more of a monoculture.
Feels that way to me. I wasn’t there like at the very beginning, but was able to be in a few small subreddits turn big. Some turned to shit, some turned okay. Lemmy/mbin a.k.a. threadiverse seems like it was before my time I started with reddit
Reddit was killed by spez. RIP. Long live Lemmy! Hopefully it’s insulated from meddling by venture capital.
deleted by creator
Who told you these lies? Lemmy took the bad parts and called them features.
I feel like I have simpler reasons for leaving Reddit.
The third party apps quit working and the site and app run like shit and take forever to load.
Simple problems, simple solutions.
I left because once you see that most posts are just commercials and advertising and then you realize how they sell our attention span instead of paying us for it then I left. I don’t work all day just to come home and make someone else money. Cut me in or eat shit.
Not to mention how many posts are made to get you to react viscerally, instead of engage with the community - things like AITA seem especially prone to this.
Politics is the most obvious, most of its run by AI
That’s actually the main reason most left, Lemmy has never seen a bigger increase in MAU before or after the death of 3rd party apps.
Not to say the other stuff isn’t important, but for me Reddit WAS Apollo. Without it, it didn’t even feel like the same service. Enough people felt the same about their preferred apps that they left en masse in 2023.
yep, reddit was RIF as far as i’m concerned. if RIF is dead then so is reddit
Sync for me, but same. Plus I didn’t like their attitude.
Complete with intermittent abandonment, just like the old days.
Yep, same here.
I was one of those. Happily discovered Voyager. I go back, usually when a search link takes me there.
The mobile app is designed by people who I only imagine get paid by the bulk number of raw clicks/taps on UI elements.
Yup, for me it’s Sync. And Sync is doing a decent enough job of bringing me Lemmy content.
i still use sync for reddit as well, you can patch it with revanced
Meh, fuck Reddit.
For me Reddit was Alien Blue. It all went downhill after Reddit bought it and then stopped updating it.
There was never an app that had such a great UI for iPad. Apollo never introduced a two column Split View like it.
Narwhal had one, but was a bit meh otherwise.
Yeah, I came here when they did the API thing. I was spending too much time on reddit anyway, now I’m reading and gaming more in my free time.
The Reddit app and site are bloated bullshit. It’s an insult that they want you to use that. Lemmy with Voyager is the experience I like.
That was indeed awful, but I put up with it (and the app even improved a bit over the last year or whatever). The thing that made me finally leave was posts being shadow deleted for simply saying a man’s name and then being threatened with bans for upvoting the “wrong” content. Absolutely not.
