Since you just joined and aren't yet deeply invested in your new account, you might want to think about joining piefed.world. It's the same .world instance, it just uses the PieFed front end, which is much cleaner and more feature rich.
Man, I really like PieFed. I have been on a small local-ish Lemmy instance for about a year and a half, and I have enjoyed it, but PieFed is a much better front end for Lemmy. The owner of my instance has deployed PieFed, I'm helping to beta test it and get it stable, and I plan on staying here.
I left Reddit the day the API ban went into effect and Apollo no longer worked. And to be clear, it wasn't just that Apollo quit working, but it was also the way the dev was treated. He was trying to negotiate with Reddit to keep the app alive. Reddit & Spez not only weren't negotiating in good faith, but then tried to make Christian look like the villain. Unfortunately he recorded everything and brought receipts proving Reddit's lies, and that was enough to make me walk away.
I spend the majority of my doomscrolling on Lemmy, and the only time I go back to Reddit is for live game sports threads (specifically for American football), which haven't really seemed to catch on over here. I have done a couple of playoff games with Mastodon hashtags, and that worked pretty well, but for regular season games, I participate in the Reddit live threads. But daily reading/commenting? It's over here now, and I'm plenty happy.
I'd hire a lawyer and hit them for reimbursement of the $500 fee, my legal fees, slander for claiming I'm a smoker, punitive damages, and any another other monetary penalty I could think of. I'm sure I could find a lawyer that would be salivating over this.
Absolutely. But they’ve got to be good and they’ve got to be funny.
Airplane , the original Naked Gun trilogy, Young Frankenstein , Blazing Saddles , they all hold up today and are still hilarious. We didn’t stop going to see theatrical comedies, they stopped being funny.
Happy Real Cake Day!
