My reason is that Reddit has opened a representative office in Turkey. This means the government can hand over IP addresses whenever it wants. In short, I came to Lemmy because freedom is gone. Fuck Reddit.

same with RIF
Reddit is no longer fun.
I mean, yeah the app was a way better experience than even desktop, but holy shit, the content!
It’s overflowing with fascist, racist, misogynist and violent stuff much more than even a year or two ago.
It always has that. It’s why the first things you do when joining any online platform is to find the block button for anything news, faith, or politics related.
True, it’s what I did on here too. It’s better for one’s mental health.
You’re right, but either it’s me nas I’ve become sensitized, or Reddit really is much more disgusting than ever.
Yeah this was it for me. Best app ever…no bullshit ads or anything…and I was really upset that Reddit forcefully killed it for money. However, I did find that the app Red Reader is allowed to exist because of its accessibility features for the visually impaired. It’s a good browsing experience…simple and no ads or BS.
I still do browse Reddit because a lot of the communities I visit on there either don’t exist on Lemmy or are too underpopulated for much of any content. Please don’t tell me to just “post more content” myself. The point is I often don’t have much content for the communities I visit. Like it or not, a community with 10 active members just isn’t enough to have much to participate with, even if I am the one posting most of the content. For example, there is a tattoo community I stumbled across on Lemmy. But I only have so many tattoos. So obviously I cannot fill the page with endless more content.
I basically only use it for work stuff like /r/sysadmin or some of the vendor specific boards.
