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.

    I still visit Reddit occasionally for old niche tech support, but that’s about it. Tried Voat but it was dead on arrival.

    Here’s a list -

    Lose of RiF was the last straw.

    Inconsistent censorship.

    Mods targeting users.

    Promoted ads disguised content

    Hive mind comment bombing and down voting

    Lack of understanding or reason

    Gatekeeping by mods and users

    Spam bots

    Achievements and robot challenges

    Reposting/resharing the same memes over and over like it was new content.

    Reporting posts didn’t seem to do anything
