I don't like reddit the way I used to before and then they decided to kill the app I used. I'm also a former mod so I was aware of the lack of official moderator tools from reddit which also annoyed me.

They killed RIF and Apollo.
Also, they killed off edgy content like /r/imgoingtohellforthis. And censorship got out of control. Sadly, I expect the same will happen here. But I remain cautiously optimistic.
I haven't officially left yet. I'm using the patched app with Revanced. If that somehow gets nuked though I don't know what I'll do.

I've used "sync for reddit" for years. For me, redit is "sycn".
didn't tbh.
API changes. I was using official Reddit app but decided to support those who was affected by changes. My ideology is: help peoples and eventually they will help you back.
To support the initial blackout I uninstalled the Reddit app (yes, I was using the official one...). But when after a few days it started to look like spez isn't going to meet the demands and protest won't end anytime soon, I needed an alternative and decided to try Lemmy. And here I am...
Reddit culture is extremely cringe - I'm hoping that since lemmy is less populated and more catered to internet nerds, it won't be so bad.
Because it became a hivemind of only one allowed thought process. If you disagreed with the vaccine being mandated and forced on people, or disagreed with masking inside of a car you were downvoted and ostracized. Reddit mods started going after communities just because they disagreed with them politically and it became unfun to use.
