Many things, but ultimately Spez

Yup. I didn't even use third party apps, I paid for Reddit premium, etc. I was exactly what they wanted as a customer. However, the way they treated the community beyond the actual decisions they made was unacceptable.

I'd been wanting a mastodon like Reddit for a while anyways, so when lemmy reached a critical mass, I signed up.

What's your instance like? I've never seen that one before.

It's just a friends and family instance (plus some bot development) ๐Ÿ™‚ No real content hosted here. I spun it up after the lemmy.world instability.

Oh nice. Federation is so cool that you can do that kind of thing.
