Long live Apollo.

Column 1 straight down Team!

none of these say anything about moving due to privacy concerns and I feel like thats a huge market here.

The API change and the general tone they took towards the community when they implemented it.

I only ever accessed reddit from the mobile web, but I left and moved in solidarity because of the API shit. Told me it was somewhere I didn't want to be anymore.

You don’t have one for “Longtime lurker who used reddit for their daily dose of catching-up-with-the-world but found that the r/all was increasingly showing reality tv discussion subs that they had no interest in”.

RIP, Apollo.

I was device and IP banned for saying Americans needed to have the Guillotines in the streets.

I stand by what I said lol.

Everything except getting b&

Too many unironically racist and sexist people in reddit.

Third party apps did it for me and most of us with accounts around 3 years old.

Bottom right, but I did get back on reddit. Their IP bans are clown shoes!

But then I started liking it here and found some subs that have decent interaction so I stayed...

Fuck ****.

I know I don't have to censor things on Lemmy, but I don't want to be rude anyway.

I know exactly why I was banned: I reported a few instances of disinformation in r/conservative, and the admins suspended my account for "abusing the moderation system".

Just to reiterate: the Reddit admins sided with the fascists to create a safe space for propaganda and lies, and kicked me off the site for attempting to report it.

Dang, plenty of marks but no bingo for me. I should have been banned before leaving

Where's the, "I hate everything proprietary, and regularly check for foss alternatives option"?

Does wishing death on Elon Musk and Trump count as a good reason, or a 'good' reason?

My favorite mod @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website moved here but also fuck spez.

EDIT:

Mine isn't there as an option, the internet was designed and built to be a free and open decentralised place. power, data, and control over the internet shouldnt be concentrated in a small number of corporations or governments. Instead, infrastructure, identity, content, and money should be spread across many independent nodes that no single entity controls. The fediverse is the return to what the internet always has been and always will be, just there was a small blip over the last decade or so where we lost our way.

I used the Reddit is Fun app for like 15 years. The second they took that away I was gone.

Top row, left column for me. I've actually been around since the third party app ban, but lost my first two accounts: VLemmy -> lemm.ee -> lemmy.zip

What’s Spez?

but.. like.. so — theoretically — what happens when someone looses miserably at bingo with a perfect score of 0/9? Asking for a friend.. of a friend..

Does this feel like lawful good to chaotic evil to anyone else?

And I swapped when they killed my favorite app.

I still have RIF installed on principle. I'm still angry about that

None of those, I just heard about this on r/degoogle and came over.

I like it more here because I don't get banned for saying I think more conservatives should drink raw milk so they'll get listeria and die

I still have RiF installed 🤷

X O O O X O O O X

But also FUCK SPEZ!

6/9 also the algorithm change in r/popular was the most damning. Reddit says that ICE is suddenly cool?

Bottom left. I was curious. Also I thought maybe, just maybe europe.pub would not be 90% posts about USA and Trump. How naive I was! Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it's occasionally good!

Shouldnt the top middle be the free space?

Apollo for Reddit died

I didn't get a bingo, but;

• Fuck Spez (obviously)
• Bots and AI (loathing both, even and especially the constant automoderator spam)
• try something new (and it's going well!)

Left column and fuck spez!

Top left for me. It was the clear sign I needed to see that Reddit was on the fast entshitification route.

Paranoia over AI accounts. Bots. Bots. Bots. Astroturfing.

These are all lemmy-related. What brought me to the fediverse was Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.

I was using Mastodon long before I started using Lemmy.

At least everyone who was actually banned for no reason will believe the other people saying they were banned for no reason

I have a homelab and it wants to R U N

Old reddit for me was the last straw. time to move on. if we don't make a stand and move elsewhere, the status quo remains.

For the vast majority of Fediverse users, it was either Elon Musk's announcement in February, 2022, to buy out Twitter, or Elon Musk's actual Twitter buyout in October, 2022.

Followed by a tweet that must have looked something like this:

join mastodon its literally twitter without musk https://mastodon.social/

As for me, I joined the Fediverse long before there was Lemmy, long before there was even Mastodon, even before it was named Fediverse. I stumbled upon a free, open-source, self-hostable alternative to Facebook that even had features beyond Facebook.

Just a reminder the fediverse isnt only lemmy 🫤

Technically I got banned from multiple subs by auto-editting every comment I ever made to advertise lemmy, then to warn people that they're being used to train ai and finally a probably useless attempt to poison the ai's data with nonsense velociraptor meme-speak.

That was after they walled off their api and forgot blind people exist (their mobile app didn't have any accessibility features, probably still doesn't). Shitheads.

No bingo for me :(

Only two somewhat fit and don't allign with the free space.

Left column.
Stayed because of the far better discourse.

YATZEE!

None of these, really; I just wanted something open-source (I guess bottom-middle might qualify for that but I don't plan to run anything).

They took my app dammit. Twice actually, I'd been on alien blue. I'd rather put up with you people than their awful app

I like this one! I used to use better reddit + rif + small community reddit (less than 2000+ total members on some communities). It was fun while it lasted. Now im here! Hope you all enjoy for a while. Speaking of which how goes the mesh @icedraktajino@startrek.website ? I have a new meshcore and tastic node that im hoping will get better reception.

While nothing ever lasts, I hope that the fediverse can give you all happiness while its here!

I was banned for goading the Whitehouse Reddit into nuclear War with Iran so we could all stop seeing press conferences of Caroline Levitt.

first they took tweetbot

then apollo

never again

we shall remember them

1, 2, and 7 for me. Map it like a phone dialer.

But honestly, 3 was never in my mind lol. I hardly know big redditors to the point they left and went here

Got banned from Vancouver subreddit for calling those antivaxxer flag-waving idiots, “flaggots”.

Then got permabanned for trying to evade the ban (using alt account). Every account I tried to make since gets banned.

All my round-about ways to use a third party app and just lurk also stopped working recently.

I still dont think calling those crazy fringers and convoy antivaxxers, “flaggots” is not that big a deal. I’m not insulting gay people, I love my homios!

Middle left for me. Selling our comment history to train AI was the last straw for me to delete my account.

I score like, 6 of these.

neither. the privacy and degoogled posts are better cause of the lower level of auditing.

Let's all be grateful for Elon Musk! Bringing people to the Fediverse is the biggest thing he has accomplished in his life and that's the only thing he did on his own.

I guess I'm neutral good. Wait, is this not an alignment chart?

We are all kind of tech hippies here, right? Isn't that kinda important?

Wow, 9 reasons on the card, and none of them are "rampant bigotry and bootlicker propaganda being pushed to the top page on a daily basis"

Reddit became too stale for me after a while. Sometimes I still post memes there or look up something, but otherwise my main way of getting information became kbin, later Lemmy once Ernest disappeared, though it was helped by Xitter also becoming an unreliable astroturfed garbage with CSAM generator integrated.

\ BINGO \

Let me assure you though that it's entirely possible to get banned from Lemmy as well. Not quite as permanently though, but still.

A3

I guess number 9: Inciting violence includes against yourself too, apparently.

_|X|X

X|X|X

X|_|_

I say hateful things to normies for the luls

So i got everything but the mods and creator field in the top right.

Das Känguru

....the last one, lmao.

I'm column one down team as well!

API change.

Which does somewhat filter down to cells 1 and 2

The only one that nobody anywhere has is the middle right.

I just hate American mega corporations and like to keep my personal data, well, personal

right across the middle for me

It's like a frustrated old lady in the church basement on a Friday night ... I can't get bingo. I can almost get bingo twice. But no luck.

Fuck spez, I wanted to try something new.
