Left Reddit over a year ago, haven't been back once. It was surprisingly easy, and a year on, it's getting easier for others too.

I left also, the API thing was the nudge I needed; I admit I've gone back for niche things: the fan groups of 2-3 bands and two TV shows. Reddit is their defacto fan forum for lots of things

I was desperately waiting for an alternative to show up years before even the API changes. Anything that came up got taken over by Nazis and died shortly after. Lemmy is the only one that managed to actually take off.

Eh, I'm still looking, but this one seems better than the others. I've been here a little over a year and it's getting the job done.

I'm looking forward to more piefed and Sublinks traction

The worst part to me is the shadowbanning. It's easy enough to tell if you're shadowbanned (check subs or comment threads when signed out and in private mode to see if your stuff shows up), but you can't see comments from other people who are shadowbanned. I want to see all points of view. And after the API changes, the sites for viewing removed or hidden comments stopped working :|

Hear hear

Shadow banning has been out of control on that site for years

I tried checking it out recently just for the amount of content. The site is unusable now. Don't bother to comment anything beyond a useless lol comment or you'll get banned for every little thing. The mods really went power mad over there
