Probably 1/2 of the users on this platform are here as a protest against Reddit. Either the API stuff, or the admins nuking your account, or the mods being… goofy. Or the users, or who knows what.

What’s your story?

    So many reasons, in no particular order.

    1. Same questions and content being repeated again and again

    2. The environment became hostile, so many people arguing.

    3. Intrusion of politics into everything. Particularly right wing politics.

    4. Extremely inconsistent modding of forums and inconsistent bans etc…

    5. Going public, changes to API, old reddit, comercialization, selling data for AI

    I joined when it was a much smaller place, now there are many millions. I realise I like smaller communities. It’s why I left Facebook.
