Original question text by @CozyLorraine@lemmy.world
Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.
Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.
I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.
I was the primary mod/founder for a fairly large subreddit. During the blackout protests Reddit threatened to remove my mod rights if I didn’t reopen the subreddit. I told them to get fucked, and my account was banned. They also removed the other mods and installed new mods. I haven’t touched the platform since and will never use Reddit again.

I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there… I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.
Lemmy is just so much better quality.
Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲
My opinions on a certain orange thing were a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.
