Yes except for niche subs. I visit reddit about once a week now instead of daily. Can't wait for the day to come when I can leave for good.
After leaving Reddit due to the whole API scandal, I noticed that that decision was really a wake up call to take a break off the internet. Actually, it made me delete every "traditional" social media application, with the obvious exception of YouTube. I've never felt better. Being addicted to social media for this long can have some pretty serious issues.
Lemmy is pretty great, so much so that it's a part of my username now (it's more of a pseudonym now). In fact, it being small kinda encouraged me to take breaks off the internet. I've had one for like... 2 months perhaps?
I've been trying to use Lemmy more for general and political content but I still use Reddit for niche fandoms and hobbies.
I tried to get banned with my last couple posts but they ignored them I guess. Account is still there.
Banned I don't know how to behave online.
Never been banned on reddit but I prefer how there is less of a moderation here for my searing hot takes when I feel like shitposting
I like lemmy more because it feels like I get more interaction when I post here. Smaller communities are just better for meaningful discussion.
I just like Lemmy more
Haven't had a reddit account since ~2015. Saw no value for a long time. Here is different.
I'm banned off reddit. It was only a generic message i got saying I violated multiple rules. First it was my alt and then my main hours later. I have no idea what happened. Maybe me being on a public wi fi at a hotel and then someone there logged in two weeks later with a banned account so it got connected to mine.
With lemmy was active as reddit. Now it's just a read only site for me.
my first account was banned because I was critical of Christianity and it hobby of murdering people
Reddit Refugee. Thanks!
I was shadowbanned, so I signed up for Lemmy for the long term, and made another account on Reddit because who gives a shit about "ban evasion".
Will keep using both till I'll be permabanned; Reddit still has more of the communities I'm interested in. I hope Reddit fucks up even more so there'll be another exodus to Lemmy.
Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at asklemmy@lemmy.ml btw
