The death of Sync for Reddit is what has made me join Lemmy
I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend.
I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death
Same here. I don't want to use reddit's official app given how spez spelled out he will do everything he can to squeeze every penny out of that place. I want to browse interesting communities, not endless ads.
Same for me. Sync for Reddit was my app of choice as well and with the announcement of Sync for Lemmy I've joined here as well. Make sure to check out the community for the app as well: !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
I feel the same but I've also had reddit mods who do not like anyone having a different opinion. So yeah I was done with reddit quite a while ago.
I once was banned from all of reddit for saying I suspected a love Island contestant acted like he was gay. I didn't even do it maliciously it was just an honest opinion and I stated as much.
Flip flopping between Lemmy and Reddit ever since they killed Apollo. The main app is just a pain to use so it definitely killed my enjoyment of browsing reddit
I joined kbin because of the upcoming "death" of Infinity for Reddit. Infinity still works for now, (for free, I mean. But after a while it will be subscription-based) but I joined kbin before the "death" of Infinity because WHY NOT :D
I used Redact to rewrite all of my accounts' comments, since Spez will restore deleted comments, so you must overwrite them.
I have a had a few very negative experiences here with political extremists that already occupy some of the busier or perhaps more rabid instances. Not only that, but I hope that free speech instances will become populated enough to ensure vibrant content and users. The fewer rules that clone Reddit the better it is for all users in the end.
I didn't realize I could transcribe on mobile using 3PAs until a few days before the takedown. It was frustrating and shitty, but the biggest thing that drove me away was looking at that site that told me how many shadowremovals and silent moderation I got without even realizing it, for completely innocent things. I was done.
Ngl liftoff is still really iffy about mobile transcribing on Lemmy but I'm working with/harassing to dev on that (I got a reply saying they'll look into it and now it's just a waiting game ig)
