The way I switched was getting banned from Reddit for 7 days wrongly. It then took me two days or 3 days to get unbanned and for them to apologize for the original band. By then I said fuck it and decided to come over here and search for alternatives since I've been on Reddit for like 16 years now or something like that and it's getting a little old and repetitive. Then fortunate part about this place is that there's not enough post and so it's a lot of repetition. But it also allows me to go visit other sites because there is so much repetition here.
don't worry. if you go back to reddit you'll get banned again in a few months anyway for the same reasons.
this place is rapidly become reddit though... same folks who who just want to harass and ban anyone whose comments they disagree with. good news is here you can see someone falling you around downvoting all your comments and block them.
at least people aren't sending me PMs constantly on this site about how i should die and/or trying to get me to sub to their onlyfans. for now.
