Yeah, I’m here because reddit didn’t value my use and made my favorite client no longer work. That’s it. However, if it weren’t that, it would have been one of the myriad of problems reddit had since then. Obviously, I do appreciate the federated aspect of Lemmy, but it wasn’t a consideration when I moved here.
I finally left after they made it impossible to access r/all from mobile. The day after I finally left, they made it to where I couldn’t even use my browser to look at reddit unless I switch to desktop mode.
The API changes were the start and had I researched any alternatives I would have left back then. Bots are obviously not good and I wish they weren’t a thing, but I wasn’t really affected by them. Like, at all. If I thought it was a bot I just scrolled.
R/all would have me scrolling for hours. They forced the algorithm bullshit and I went from scrolling for hours to this self-fulfilling algorithm where it only showed me a few subs. And then only showed me those because I only opened those… because they were only showing me those.
They kinda shot themselves in the foot with all this stuff. At least when it comes to people like me.
