I gave up on reddit when they banned 3rd-party API access. I use Boost for Lemmy so it looks like reddit minus the karma whores, bots, and general shittiness.
I suppose some reddit users might find the distributed nature of the fediverse too complicated, but honestly I’m not sure if those folks would be much of a benefit to us here.
I got permanently banned for reposting the Alex Peretti shooting to bring awareness to it, reddit was constantly removing posts that day. I had my account for 17 years. Then they also banned my alt account that I had for 16 years because of “ban avoidance” - the digital fingerprint they had for me was tied to both accounts apparently.
onbording through apps is good enough that users might not even notice a difference, the main hurdle is understanding the interconnectivity of instances and them actually leaving their jail
i think people will use old reddit on logging in, until reddit removes it. and then people will use reskinning extensions to make it old reddit before reddit finally somehow restricts that too.

Fuck reddit.
I got banned for being pro-choice (pro-abortion really) and thinking women are people. They got all my accounts.
Pathetic website.
reddit/spez mostly sucks musks Knob now, and by extension trump and the gop. dont forget that in 2016, they did the same thing, by banning many subs.

Yep I use voyager and can barely tell a difference. I will admit lemmy from browser is still a bit confusing
