Lol I left with the APIcalypse, and I was an official app user, no regrets and never looked back. Why would anyone go to that shithole when you have the fediverse?

I haven’t been back, and I haven’t missed it.

The smaller subs (such as for specific hobbies) do not have the same momentum here on Lemmy. That’s probably why.

To be honest, they were right as often as they were wrong. Plenty of folks who proclaimed they’d never return to Reddit returned within the month. Some of the most outspoken were the quickest. I find the mods who returned particularly giggle-worthy.

Oh, I saw a lot of those lmao.

Im sure Id have gotten said responses too, but ai kinda got my account suspended shortly before. The closest ive gotten on lemmy is that ive had some comments removed for valid reasons, and then their the fact that I think one of the world news mods has a grudge against me or their tools blanket remove comments.

Oh yeah I got IP banned for “abusing the report button” by reporting a literal call for violence against trans people. I had to use a VPN to browse that shitty site. In retrospect, I don’t know why I bothered.

I also got an IP ban alongside it, mind you I was proposing drowning the leaders of the UAE and Saudia Arabia. I was on NCD so I figured no one would care enough to report it, mind you my two previous strikes were from 2016, so who fucken knows what I said then.

I used to check in on againsthatesubs and report shitty content and new (usu replacement) hate subs that popped up. Admin barely cared about that shit

Yeah, I was on that sub as well, occasionally. I respect Bardfinn, the lead mod of AHS, but they used to tell me that accounts were restored on appeal if moderators retaliated by reporting users for “abusing the report button,” but my appeal was never accepted, and it was a clear instance of mod retaliation. I finally shared that experience when I was on my way out of the site for good.

Overwhelming smugness was the very thing that finally got me to leave lol
