    So did anything in particular trigger the influx of new users? Just curious. I’m another one of those people that came from Reddit during the API bullshit in 2023.

      My understanding is that it’s due (at least in part) to some pretty aggressive censorship that’s been going on over there. Especially with regard to Luigi and related topics.

      I’m also curious to hear if I’m wrong or if there’s other stuff at play too

        That and some popular Reddit posts urging us all to come here - I’ve seen a bunch of people who came here from the same post I did and at least one other. Woohoo! I know I’m also particularly primed to make changes like this right now, I’ve been working on getting away from more of the crappy capitalists recently

        Yeah, this was the last straw for me. Sorta embarrassed it took me this long to ditch Reddit, I should have done it as soon as the API was killed

      Reddit decided to get a lil fashy and start banning people even for just upvoting shit.
