Reddit was killed, no, murdered.
What do you mean? 😂
Probably that all the things that made reddit “good” were killed for the sake of profit.
Reddit threatening to ban /r/piracy made me setup a failover in raddle. Raddle restricting sign-ups for months made me switch the failover to lemmy.ml. Reddit protests made me setup lemmy.dbzer0.com and make it the primary location for /c/piracy
Removed by mod
Many things, but ultimately Spez
I prefer FOSS stuff.
I mean, technically, the code to reddit is open source.

General interest in noncommercial social media. My Lemmy account is two years old, and I’ve been on Mastodon for longer than that. I did start spending a lot more time here once reddit axed 3rd party apps.
When Reddit killed Apollo I deleted my ten year old account and never went back.
Deleting mine now…
Edit: done
Reddit killing off 3rd party apps. Also Lemmy feels more free as I don’t need a set amount of karma to be able to submit a post or comment. I had a lurker account on Reddit that was verified and everything, but there were times when I wanted to post and when I did only I could see my comment.
RiF stopped working on Reddit
Apollo shutting down and the original Reddit app being 💩💩💩 Plus the way everything was handled by Reddit. So gross!
That is capitalism 🤷🏽♂️. The CEOs are emperors.
Yap, Now slowly withdrawing, one person at a time.
How many have you withdrawn?
Another Apollo refugee.
Reddit killing off third party apps. I’ll blow a leper before I use the official one. Lemmy was a good enough replacement at the time, and nowadays I only visit reddit when I need super specific information that might’ve been asked in the past 10 years.
Same. Since ApolloApp was disabled, I decided to call it quits.
Using the app Voyager for Lemmy. And it’s almost like being back on reddit.
Same with Boost. Got Jerboa, then Connect, and now back on Boost.
Yeah, I’ll still check out Reddit when it pops up in search results, but I’m not on there passing the time like I used to be.
Ultimately the killing of sync brought me. But reddit just isn’t what it used to be. Every gaming sub is just a bunch of cry babies complaining about the game that used to be good but isn’t. Every post is just someone else reposting the same popular phrase or meme. It just over all sucks. I’ve actually tried using the app and the site it just doesn’t work well. It doesn’t even show content from all of my subs like sync used to. Now I’m using sync on lemmy and its passable. I actually kind of like the smaller user base. Less hive mind bull shit.
The excuse was the 3rd party API shenanigans on Reddit. The real reason occured, as I expanded my stay here, and realised that without Federated Social Media and Open Source Software, humanity will turn into a neo-feudal barbaric age of cruelty sooner than later
Was sick of reddit and how happy they were to coddle nazis.
Went to the first place big enough to sustain conversation.
It all started when someone’s reddit AMA got canceled due to the protests…
