First post! I’m in Minnesota. I’m too old to understand the federated stuff very well and am having a confusing learning curve here and on Mastodon. I just know it’s time to get away from social media with shareholders attached, so here I am. Every day is some new horror, but also every day, here I am, trying to learn something new.
absolutely rooting tooting
Trying by best up in Michigan
The husband’s from there; great state! Though I love all the Midwest, honestly.
So did anything in particular trigger the influx of new users? Just curious. I’m another one of those people that came from Reddit during the API bullshit in 2023.
My understanding is that it’s due (at least in part) to some pretty aggressive censorship that’s been going on over there. Especially with regard to Luigi and related topics.
I’m also curious to hear if I’m wrong or if there’s other stuff at play too
Yeah, this was the last straw for me. Sorta embarrassed it took me this long to ditch Reddit, I should have done it as soon as the API was killed
That’s precisely why I’m here. I deleted my Reddit account a few days ago, after I got several subreddit bans for upvoting Luigi related posts/comments that had no violent context. Just the name. One of them was a picture of the actual Nintendo character. After that I was like “fuck it, I’m done”.
Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
I was unaware until recently. The death of the Apollo app was the end of Reddit for me but between old.reddit and ad blockers the experience was ok. But once I learned an alternative existed I moved.
