    A massive mix of things:

    reddit algorithm sucks now

    all the big subreddits are run by right wing trolls or actual reddit employees and the ones that aren’t are forced to comply with shitty moderation rules that nobody likes or agrees with except right wingers

    general enshittification

    more bots then ever before and it noticeably changes the experience because bots don’t act like real people and even when they do/when you actually are talking to a real person it’s always in the back of your head that this interaction could be completely meaningless

    more ads

    lower quality content than before

    made a lemmy account a while beforehand but the final nail in the coffin was when of all things I was banned from reddit as a whole for criticizing pixel art subreddit mods for being puritanical because they deleted a popular artist’s post for being sexual For reference this is the offending image

    My criticism wasn’t even particularly harsh, didn’t make any threats, just said that mods of an art sub probably shouldn’t be puritans since that’s in conflict with freedom of expression and got banned, it’s good though, this place is much better

    It’s the nature of things like this to be proportional to the demographics of the userbase.

    There’s a lot of pony stuff because there’s a lot of pony fans here, they can only ever take up their proportion of the canvas anyway so long as other people keep placing pixels, it’s about as fair a system as you can get, every demographic gets as large a proportion as they can manage with the number of people they have.
