Lemmy

Various reasons:

• Getting banned for random reasons even though I participated in good faith
• Nothing being done about hateful posts and messages
• The company following in Elmo's footsteps and their lack of transparency because corporate greed

Reddit's been spiraling downhill for years. Been searching for an alternative that's not the cesspits of Twitter and 4chan. API is getting killed, government and corporations pushing agendas, armchair experts, subreddit bannings, poor UI/UX, echochambers, hardly any OC, and many many other issues that I'm sure others have already mentioned. I'm dumping the site as soon as old.reddit goes down.

There's nothing but outrage culture on social media. Just looking for a spot to chill really...

Reddit is burning alive, twitter is burned down, facebook is dead, 4chan sucks, fark is old, and nothing else exists in this capacity.

I’ve been looking for a change from Reddit for a while now and as an Apollo user this is the push I needed. So far this seems like a much better alternative to Reddit!

I've been chasing the old Usenet feel for decades. Reddit came close, but I can see the writing on the wall now. Lemmy's got the possibility to get closer.
