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.

    The APIcalypse for me.

    Slightly concerned by how many people here managed to get banned from the entire site.

      I got shadowbanned! And I don’t even know what I did.

      99.9% of my posting was in two places: technical testing in localllama and fandom geeking in thelastairbender, in spite of brain drain in both subs. I never even raised my voice in a post.

      I did post a Lemmy link, but that was well after my first shadowban I believe.


      Anyway, it feels like tons of technical and lore intelligence drained from these subs, so I feel like I’m not the only one who got shut out.

        Yeah, FWIW I recognise some of these users, and they’ve been fine. And Reddit hasn’t looked better when I’ve incidentally browsed through.
