Like a lot of the new users here I too am a former Redditor. I was on Reddit for 15 years, it was my main source of news and information. I didn’t agree with many of the changes to reddit but kept on, till recently when I learned the app I’d been using “Infinity” would no longer work, I guess that was the final straw, but as the title suggests I’m glad. I started looking for other sources of information and entertainment which led to lemmy and the fediverse. I also found other content creators on platforms like patreon, substack, discord, mastodon,that I may not have found otherwise if I was still on Reddit. Just felt like sharing, thank you for reading this, hope you all have a wonderful day.

Can you still do this if you’re permabanned?
Oo. Great question. Probably not.
But you can still submit a privacy act request for all of your data to be deleted. My understanding is that such protection exists in the EU, UK, and California.
In case you didn’t know it already: There is a app called Eternity for Lemmy that is pretty much Infinity but for Lemmy
Eternity is the best!
The change here hasn’t been that bad other than half of the user base literally shitting themselves if you mention ads or windows. It’s also sad missing out on some smaller communities that don’t exist here yet and the amount of content, but it’s nice at the same time because I waste less time scrolling through.
Just block linux communities, it’s been quite the improvement of my personal experience. Nothing against linux communities, they are just not my people.
