The way Spez and the admins treated Apollo’s dev was more than enough for me to leave Reddit, and that’s before the shit he said about the vulnerable users of his site (essentially seeing them as dollar signs - I know CEOs are scummy but holy fuck).

Used to browse Reddit daily. Once Reddit is Fun closed, I only go on to search for an answer.
Now it is Lemmy daily.

whats this about the vulnerable users?
Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 6 months ago
A lot of third party integrations to improve accessibility for visually or physically impaired users were caught up in the restrictions designed to destroy RIF Apollo etc. Spez vaguely said reddit would fix that, but it basically just resulted in improvements to base reddit for those users thrown into the bottom of a low priority dev list never to see the light of day.
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Oh I knew about that. With the way he said that I figured there was a specific quote that he said something about calling the user base vulnerable.

Open Lemmy, nothing new, close Lemmy. Open Lemmy again to check if something new. Nothing new.
Speculater@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Live life, check back in six hours, all new.
Everything top six hours is the best.

I use auto hide posts (voyager) otherwise the stale posts would drive me nuts
rckclmbr@lemm.ee 6 months ago
That’s the idea. Helps you not become a dopamine addicted mess.
Pheonixdeath@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Same for me. Once RIF died my time with Reddit died as well. But i really try not tongo back, but sometimes some answers are only easily found there.

I somehow was banned for “hate”. I literally have 0 idea what I could have possibly said. I appealed, of course nobody actually reads those and I am still perma banned. 10 years of history. Oh well. To Lemmy it is.
Doomsider@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Oh I remember saying something along the lines of Ron Desantis was a dirty diaper and should be thrown out in the trash on a conservative Reddit.
The mods tried to have me banned over it and said I was harassing them. Unbelievable when all they did was talk smack about everyone. I learned when Reddit suspended my account over mods being butthurt that it was going down the drain.

Same but with Sync for Reddit instead.

This. There’s a handful of subreddits that aren’t on Lemmy that I miss but generally speaking I’ve got everything I need on Lemmy. I’m also a lot more engaged here.
ImpishCook@lemmy.world 6 months ago
And once I can figure out a better wildcare search for the fediverse, I won’t visit Reddit at all!

I used to check Reddit pretty often, at least once every other day. Now I’ve found I use Lemmy rarely. I use Reddit more often still but that’s just to look up questions or get help with some issue. I mostly just use Discord now, and am only checking here because it’s down.

EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 6 months ago
Yep, same. Multiple times daily, created posts, connected a lot.
Deleted all my accounts.
Numpty@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
And if you deleted all your comments… they undeleted everything.
Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I don’t think this was true. The actual issue was you couldn’t see posts you’d made to private subreddits. Once those subreddits reopened, it made posts visible in their profiles and made it look like they hadn’t deleted everything.
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
I have been paranoid about this, so I check every few weeks to see if they got restored secretly (I used a script to first overwrite and then delete all of my contributions, about 4k comments and a several OC posts).
So far it seems to still be deleted
StereoTrespasser@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This is such a weird urban myth.
Numpty@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Personal experience on my part. I deleted 13 years of contributions on Reddit. They are ALL back. My account was deleted… but every single comment (that I checked anyway) is still there. I checked after I deleted them… and they were not visible for almost 2 months after I did the pass to delete… now they’re all back.
EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 6 months ago
I ran a script but they have never worked well for bulk deleting, reddit always says deletion works even when it fails.
