I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.
That is one of the things that makes lemmy unique - if you want to, you can spin up your own instance and make a community. It can even be the same name!
I am all in on decentralized social media at this point. I really dislike the ads, astroturfing, and fake accounts meant to boost brands.

i heard its significantly harder to become a mod, or make a sub now, now that even regular accounts are getting ban after its made.
