What made you quit Reddit and move to Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

For me, it was the toxic circlejerk (admins/mods as well) low quality content getting upvoted while high quality submissions not getting much attention/buried and obvious privacy issues.

Their site redesign was damn heavy for my potato laptop and the old one was unpractical.

Mob mentality.

US-centric.

Ads.

Karma.

There's a lot of good to but when a viable, open and federated alternative popped up, I jumped on it. Really enjoying Lemmy those few minutes I have spare to throw away at procrastination, opinions or praise.

Oh, other use who sees their interface as heavy.

I really hate when people shared Reddit threads with me to check something because of that. I am glad that Teddit exists for it as even the old Reddit interface was not responsive (mobile version) and was still a bit heavy (but less).
