I started using Lemmy a few years ago because of the blackout that happened then (the one that started because they hired a known pedophile apologist as an admin). When Reddit fired her and made what they considered an apology, I continued to use both just simply because I didn't like the fact that their apology sounded like they were disappointed in the community for not supporting pedophilia.
When the second blackout happened (the one caused by the API changes) I didn't support the statements that Spez was spouting about the app developers. At first I waited to see what their response was to the blackout but they, more specifically Spez, made it obvious that they didn't care, so I deleted my Reddit account and started only using Lemmy.
