New to Lemmy. Why did you choose Lemmy when there are bigger alternatives such as 4chan and reddit.

Just left reddit because I got tired of moderation and I do not agree with political views over all. I never tried 4chan because I heard it's messed up and supposedly inject maleware on visitors like porn sites do.

As a person new to Lemmy, I just wanna know why you chose here and what you like/ dislike about there.

Why did you leave reddit? Mind sharing?

They took steps to kill the app I used to access the site without providing a functional alternative.

Because Reddit is only remotely useful with apps and lied to, screwed over, and slandered all the app developers who made Reddit functional.

Got banned for "report abuse" because I reported a pro genocidal comment on r/worldnews.

They banned me from the sub then successfully petitioned Reddit to ban the entire account.

If I can't even report the genocidal content on one of their largest subreddits without losing my account, I'm not going to fit in enough to stay.
