Because I love sync

Came because I liked open source software and hate corporations. Stayed because communism

Just want to support Fediverse 🙂

i came here like most lemmy did; because reddit; and i hope to be here for a long time since all substantially financed social media platforms enshitify eventually like reddit or facebook did or enshitify immediately like bluesky did when they banned gazans.

It started with a distaste for how Reddit was treating developers and moderators, but now I genuinely believe in the future of the fediverse.

Reddit got redundant. I like arbitrary All and Popular feeds and boy did those suck after the nth made up feel good repost.

As for staying, I'm more inclined to comment here. I'm shy even by online standards but Lemmy feels like it needs more commenters.

i dont have anywhere else to go

Reddit banned me. They hate anti capitalists and anti fascists

Because spez was being a dip shit. Other than that, yeah, idklol

For the snacks

I ain't gots nowhere else to go.

Cause need to take the web back.

I was meant to be doing something but I got distracted

I have no idea what I was meant to be doing because I smoked the mystery joint

I think most of it was probably blue cheese

I just enjoy it here.

As in, why here and not reddit? I drifted away from posting on reddit about 5 - 8 years ago. I was icky over their ads and tracking and it was just a time sink I didn't need back then, but I would still use alternate frontends (the current equivalent would be libreddit) to lurk while on the train trip to work and back.

I forget whether I found lemmy from /r/piracy exploring bunker options (raddle and lemmy) or if it was through FOSS, but I liked its potential and have been here posting here since 2022.

API changes killing Apollo.

I came because I was sick of Reddit.

I didn't realize how horrible a lot of users on Lemmy are.

Honestly don't remember why I signed up. I like it though. Kind of similar vibe to when I used Reddit except much better. It's got some nice small-ish (but not too small) communities for FOSS stuff.

Spite

Corporate greed puts me off.

sync for Android

Reddit banned me for saying I should be allowed to punch Nazis, appeal silently declined within the hour. Didn't consider it worth pursuing further, had reddit-shaped hole.

Well I was IP banned on reddit. Anybody on reddit that uses my ip address gets an automatic ban forever. I don't know exactly what I said or do. I tried appealing no response till date. Got tired of trying different vpn just for reddit and had to move.

I tried Reddit but I had enough with all the rules and corporate cleanliness of it. I used this site called 'Saidit' for a bit but but no one ever posted there so I looked into Reddit alternatives and stumbled across Lemmy. The rest is history

Initially because reddit permabanned me. Then I got comfy here

To monetise it and extract wealth from lemmings.

apology for poor english

when were you when Reddit dies?

i was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring

"Reddit is kill"

"no"

just one more fedi account bro just one more

The people inside the walls told me to. I no longer dare to defy them.

I'm here because Reddit got shitty. And I really wanted a decentralized platform, where one person couldn't screw things up for everybody else. It's a lot harder to "take over" a social media platform when it's spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries.

In the past, I always felt good about never being on Twitter, considering how much people complained about it on Mastodon.

And then I realized I instead visited Reddit daily. To maintain my perceived superiority, I had to quit that and ended up here.

I want to talk to people online but reddit is too yucky. Lemmy has a better community than reddit and it's not for proffit open source decentralized and all the other things that I love.

Quora's enshittification ~2018-2024 went too far, and I'm still looking for something good enough. Checking out Lemmy, Trust Café, and Kialo.

I left Twitter and Reddit and I found Lemmy and Mastadon. Lemmy is going much better than Mastadon.

Got banned on Lemmygrad for being hitler. Most of my family considers me Stalin.

The lack of accountability of mods on reddit. Reddit doesn't want to lose their free labor.

Where Boost goes, I go.

For an actual community. I was tired of Discord and Reddit.
