Long live Apollo.

Column 1 straight down Team!

none of these say anything about moving due to privacy concerns and I feel like thats a huge market here.

The API change and the general tone they took towards the community when they implemented it.

I only ever accessed reddit from the mobile web, but I left and moved in solidarity because of the API shit. Told me it was somewhere I didn't want to be anymore.

You don’t have one for “Longtime lurker who used reddit for their daily dose of catching-up-with-the-world but found that the r/all was increasingly showing reality tv discussion subs that they had no interest in”.

RIP, Apollo.

I was device and IP banned for saying Americans needed to have the Guillotines in the streets.

I stand by what I said lol.

Everything except getting b&

Too many unironically racist and sexist people in reddit.

Third party apps did it for me and most of us with accounts around 3 years old.

I know exactly why I was banned: I reported a few instances of disinformation in r/conservative, and the admins suspended my account for "abusing the moderation system".

Just to reiterate: the Reddit admins sided with the fascists to create a safe space for propaganda and lies, and kicked me off the site for attempting to report it.

Where's the, "I hate everything proprietary, and regularly check for foss alternatives option"?

Does wishing death on Elon Musk and Trump count as a good reason, or a 'good' reason?

Dang, plenty of marks but no bingo for me. I should have been banned before leaving

My favorite mod @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website moved here but also fuck spez.

EDIT:

Fuck ****.

I know I don't have to censor things on Lemmy, but I don't want to be rude anyway.

Mine isn't there as an option, the internet was designed and built to be a free and open decentralised place. power, data, and control over the internet shouldnt be concentrated in a small number of corporations or governments. Instead, infrastructure, identity, content, and money should be spread across many independent nodes that no single entity controls. The fediverse is the return to what the internet always has been and always will be, just there was a small blip over the last decade or so where we lost our way.

I used the Reddit is Fun app for like 15 years. The second they took that away I was gone.

Top row, left column for me. I've actually been around since the third party app ban, but lost my first two accounts: VLemmy -> lemm.ee -> lemmy.zip

What’s Spez?

but.. like.. so — theoretically — what happens when someone looses miserably at bingo with a perfect score of 0/9? Asking for a friend.. of a friend..

Does this feel like lawful good to chaotic evil to anyone else?

And I swapped when they killed my favorite app.

I still have RIF installed on principle. I'm still angry about that

I still have RiF installed 🤷

Left column and fuck spez!

Shouldnt the top middle be the free space?

6/9 also the algorithm change in r/popular was the most damning. Reddit says that ICE is suddenly cool?

Paranoia over AI accounts. Bots. Bots. Bots. Astroturfing.

Top left for me. It was the clear sign I needed to see that Reddit was on the fast entshitification route.

Bottom left. I was curious. Also I thought maybe, just maybe europe.pub would not be 90% posts about USA and Trump. How naive I was! Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it's occasionally good!

X O O O X O O O X

But also FUCK SPEZ!

Got banned from Vancouver subreddit for calling those antivaxxer flag-waving idiots, “flaggots”.

Then got permabanned for trying to evade the ban (using alt account). Every account I tried to make since gets banned.

All my round-about ways to use a third party app and just lurk also stopped working recently.

I still dont think calling those crazy fringers and convoy antivaxxers, “flaggots” is not that big a deal. I’m not insulting gay people, I love my homios!

I didn't get a bingo, but;

• Fuck Spez (obviously)
• Bots and AI (loathing both, even and especially the constant automoderator spam)
• try something new (and it's going well!)

None of those, I just heard about this on r/degoogle and came over.

Apollo for Reddit died

Trump threatened greenland, had all the tech bros at his inauguration and one of them was high on ketamine and heiling, so I figured it was time to leave as many American social media platforms as possible.

The only one I still use is youtube and that's in a logged out state and in a browser.

Can't say I miss Facebook, Instagram and reddit. It's been over a year and I barely think about it nowadays.

I have my issues with Lemmy, but you can filter out most of the bs so at this point it's mostly memes, animal photography and other wholesome stuff that's left in my feed. Life is good.

I have a homelab and it wants to R U N

I like this one! I used to use better reddit + rif + small community reddit (less than 2000+ total members on some communities). It was fun while it lasted. Now im here! Hope you all enjoy for a while. Speaking of which how goes the mesh @icedraktajino@startrek.website ? I have a new meshcore and tastic node that im hoping will get better reception.

While nothing ever lasts, I hope that the fediverse can give you all happiness while its here!

For the vast majority of Fediverse users, it was either Elon Musk's announcement in February, 2022, to buy out Twitter, or Elon Musk's actual Twitter buyout in October, 2022.

Followed by a tweet that must have looked something like this:

join mastodon its literally twitter without musk https://mastodon.social/

As for me, I joined the Fediverse long before there was Lemmy, long before there was even Mastodon, even before it was named Fediverse. I stumbled upon a free, open-source, self-hostable alternative to Facebook that even had features beyond Facebook.

They took my app dammit. Twice actually, I'd been on alien blue. I'd rather put up with you people than their awful app

Technically I got banned from multiple subs by auto-editting every comment I ever made to advertise lemmy, then to warn people that they're being used to train ai and finally a probably useless attempt to poison the ai's data with nonsense velociraptor meme-speak.

That was after they walled off their api and forgot blind people exist (their mobile app didn't have any accessibility features, probably still doesn't). Shitheads.

YATZEE!
