Basically, title, here is a link to the Reddit thread for people curious: https://archive.ph/6mObB

I'm quite surprised with the neutral to positive reactions, which also show that some people will probably never leave Reddit.

Based on my usage I'd have to get one of the higher tier of plans. I'm not entirely against paying in theory, but when reddit actively protected subreddits that spread hate speech and misinformation? No I'm not paying.

Sync for Reddit stopped working as soon as the API changeover happened on July 1.

The developer rewrote the app for Lemmy, though, and it's pretty damn good.

I used to use rif and was bummed Lemmy didnt have the same thing. Then I found sync for Lemmy and never looked back. It is basically the same experience.

I don't know why I said Sync, I used Relay. I removed the first sentence.

the only annoying thing is the $18 to remove ads.. get much?

Subreddits spreading hate and misinformation? I thought they removed the_donald. Were there others they weren't getting removed? *Just remembered r/sino was pretty extreme.

It took them like 4 years and an attempt at ending US democracy for them to step in with the_Donald

Oh there's definitely more hate subs. I forget which subreddit it was but someone used the k slur for jews and a user on AgainstHateSubreddits posted about how they reported the post to the admins and one of the admins replied that there was nothing wrong with the comment.
