    This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg’s terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

    Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.

    After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.

    I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.

    Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you’re banned. You can’t have a discussion there anymore

      By “this site” you mean Lemmy, I take it? Kbin apps are all still in early testing stages, as far as I’m aware.

        Yeah, judging by the fact that I’m not seeing an @ on their profile, they’re a lemmy.world user, like me.

    I remember surfing chans back in the day. I’ve missed it, but life gets busy. I hated reddit for a long told, but it had so much good information on there and such good third party apps that I caved and it became my favorite thing to do while shitting. I just found out about Lemmy and it feels like I slipped on an old broken-in glove. Thanks for the welcome. After the toxicity of reddit, this is nice.
