cuz i was banned from reddit
When Reddit said they were gonna disable 3rd party apps, I left when we all said we were gonna leave. They never changed course, so I never changed course 🤷.
Apollo on iPhone for me.
Same thing here for me now I use Eternity. Barely look at the Warframe sub sometimes but I don’t post anything. Sometimes I have a problem and they have the solution or something.
I thought your UN looked familiar.
I left for the same reasons. Their native app is shit. They got bought out and took private. I have a dental problem with authority - back me into a corner by taking away my choices and you get brick.
I used to reddit a lot in 2011-2013 but set it down then just lurked periodically. I found out where everyone else was going and here I am. A bit of a learning curve to get set up but now I’m happy and this place feels like reddit (but friendlier) before it started sucking
Me too they didn’t need to ban me because I left.
Reddit killed third party apps and I didn’t wanna use their shitty official app, so I searched for alternatives and switched to Lemmy. I happen to like open-source software, and the idea of the Fediverse is interesting as well =w=
This is pretty much my exact same situation. I have no education in programming or software, but open-source became really interesting to me after learning what the fediverse is.
Some of the very best programmers I’ve ever met were self taught, don’t let your dreams be memes
Reddit killed “rif is reddit is fun for reddit” or whatever it was called
This right fucking here. Never forget. o7
I wanted a place where I would be bombarded with constant mentions of Star Trek and Linux
I really wanted to stay at reddit. I liked the crypto nfts and cheered when the closed the api. Really enjoyed that the ceo casually edits peoples comments, too.
Wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the constant feed of linux and star trek memes.
please … tell me the enterprise ship board computers run on Linux
Don’t forget American politics.
When reddit said they are disabling 3rd party apps was when I heard about it but was small and still on reddit, in the meantime I found mastodon and used reddit and I found about “buy european” so I started going on Lemmy. Now I am permabanned from reddit for posting on r/lies
As soon as the writing was on the wall about Reddits API proposals I made a Lemmy instance.
They killed the third party app I used and the dev migrated it to Lemmy
The Reddit app was (and probably still is) a horrendous cacophony of dark patterns, so Reddit died that day for me because there was no longer a way for me to use it on my phone that wouldn’t give me an aneurism
Reddit blocked 3rd party apps and I’m a principled man.
When reddit announced API changes. Glad I left because it is a hellhole now
The killing off of third party apps was the thing for me. Weirdly enough, it was only after I stopped using Reddit that I began to see all the other shitty things they were beginning to do.
I don’t miss it at all. It was fucking shite.
Like many others here, I moved during the API-calypse. I tried giving the official app a try but it won’t let me log in event though on the website everything worked. When they even can’t get the login right, what else will wait for me when I finally manage to log in? During the period, when RiF still worked I saw feddit, switched there and am still happy here years later.
I love decentralization and I hate Reddit. The Venn diagram overlaps in Lemmy.
Also fuck u/spez
API
I banned reddit
I joined when reddit killed third party apps, and then compared the existing volunteer mod teams that was following what their revolting user-base wanted, to a landed gentry while also threatening to reopen closed reddit’s that had voted via their user-base to close in regards to this protest.
I came across the link in a protest forum, saw the general flow of tech based things and decided to give it a try.
