I'm glad I got banned, Reddit is going downhill fast

I'm amazed any of you get told why you were banned

Welcome, reddit refugees. You won't miss Spezzit.

The enshittification of Reddit continues on.

I'm not and never was banned from there, however I left on my own accord after this happened, as if all their other enshittification didn't reinforce that decision.

Because Reddit mods are known for not being massive corruptable stooges?

TRAITORAPIST TRUMP

Oh good job Musk! Bring them all here! Right into our icy flippers!

The day I saw Trump win I knew Reddit was going on the chopping block but even then, it’s been going downhill since 2016 with bots, bot mods, and language policing. Merely saying ‘fucking Luigi’ is a ban worthy offense and it’s absolutely asinine.

Why is anyone on Reddit??

I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But... what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond "Trust me bro, we are the Latin times"?

I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?

Musk, the great champion of freedom of speech!

Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over censorship?

Me too.

I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.

But now, since early December I'm done-done.

My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I'm all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.

Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.

It feels like a warped in to another dimension. Did everyone start using only 5 years ago?

Reddit is becoming such a shit hole anyway, the site barely functions on mobile browser now, half the time it has API errors or fails to load.

It looks like this is the ex-redditor handshake thread. Did anyone start here without coming from Reddit? I heard about Lemme during the IPO fallout but didn’t pursue it until the mass shadow ban rollout.

I’m also still jumping back and forth, but that’s only because the big content creators for hobby stuff are still on Reddit. Once they migrate, I’ll likely delete my account.

i feel like musk is going to demand reddit get rid of old reddit next because it's too nice a layout
