I freely admit that I got banned because I replied to some cringe ruzzian moskal vatnik psyop on r/ABoringDystopia with actual facts.

Went looking for a news aggregator that wasn’t trying to cater to propagandists.

Sync switching, aka the reddit APIcalypse

Another arrival due to APIpocalypse and the enshittification process that Spez started with Reddit.

I do not want my information filtered through an opaque algorithm. My worldview is much too important to surrender to some corporation. I want to understand and have some control over any feed I use. My media diet includes Lemmy, AP news, PubMed/science journals, and conversations with friends and coworkers.

I am very happy with Lemmy so far. Some have pointed out there is less content on Lemmy, but that is a bonus in my book. It is not healthy to spend hours scrolling.

Reddit sent me to Lemmy with their actions. Thanks Reddit!

Reddit API change. Reddit is unusable on mobile without 3rd party apps. I used Joey, which is one of the lesser known clients, so it kept working for quite a while. When it didn’t anymore I deleted all of my posts and comments before I deleted my account.

Killing my favorite 3rd party Reddit app and the way they treat their customers and subreddits

A post on r/latestagecapitalism of a political cartoon mildly criticizing the spending for Ukraine war effort, it was the first time I really actually noticed a botted comment section. I noticed similar accounts clearly astroturfing the post and basically stopped using the platform that day.

The whole reason I found reddit to be useful was the discussion within the posts from real people with real opinions. If that’s no longer the case then I can get the same aggregated content elsewhere. I can’t use the site knowing the discussion is so influenced, at least on some level, in some subs. It’s gross.

Some guy named Spez fucking up his website

Reddit bullshit

RiF reaching senility.

Came to /kbin first, and still here sometimes but Voyager wins on my phone after Neurospicy Artemis disappeared.

Another API leaver here. I’m curious what their non-bot population was pre and post dumbassery.

Privacy, ethics and morals .

I just followed some of the other redditors to here, like an innocent little ducky.

I liked the fact that it was smaller and filled with like-minded individuals
