Asklemmy

I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.

I came voluntarily after the third party app debacle. I never even used a third party app, it had just gotten so ridiculous that when moderators were putting together a blackout in protest, I made the decision that's when I was leaving and never returning, so that's what I did.

Nope, not banned, chose to leave. Realized most of my anxiety and fear were due to Reddit's algorithm amping up my issues.

Was banned from a couple of subs for promoting Lemmy though.

I just joined Lemmy today. I found out about it through a piracy site of all things. If it were viable I would replace everything in my life with open-source alternatives. I'm tired of companies getting greedy and ruining the things I love.

Reddit is banned from me.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn't like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

Edit: damn it's almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

Edit: I can't believe cm0002 copied your exact same post

It's not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

One word - Apollo. Reddit killed it, and I left and came to Lemmy. Much happier here with more authentic engagement, and Voyager gets the job done.

I can’t say I never go back over there, but it’s almost always for live sports threads. Those just haven’t caught on yet here, though it slowly seems to be happening.

I’m permanently IP banned from Reddit. During the time when they forced everyone off of third party apps, I posted multiple times in relevant discussions about Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives. One morning when I logged in my account had a message from Reddit admins that my account and IP address was banned and that any future accounts created would be circumventing the ban and would also be banned.

More reason to leave that site anyway.

I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn't feel that strongly about it.

I left with the API issues. As far as I know my account is still in good standing.

I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes

Lemmy is catching up on Reddit. The technical forums/c/r are not as useful yet, and not enough of the hardware suppliers monitor the/their Lemmy communities.

Once that changes over I don't need Reddit.

I've just deleted my Reddit account, to switch entirly to Lemmy. No ban or something, i just don't want to use social media from the US anymore.

Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.

I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.

Lemmy more.

I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.

I didn't wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.

Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.

It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.

Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I've engaged way more here than I ever did there

I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more

I got admin banned for saying riot police should quit en masse after RvW. The thread was full of right wingers so the topmost comments were sexist as shit. Half the thread got banned.

I like Lemmy more.

12 years, 900K+ karma, Permabanned soon after the inauguration for repeating a statement I'd made many times before.

Came to Lemmy and found lots of recently banned veterans. Many of us were high volume posters for over a decade, and never got banned, then suddenly we all turned into monsters that had to be permabanned in the same month.

I prefer Lemmy in many ways - no puns, fewer trolls, no bots, no Russian propaganda farmers, etc., but some of my favorite subjects are badly lacking. Reddit has several very large and active guitar subs, for instance, while Lemmy's guitar forums are small and barely used.

On the other hand, the political subs are far more radical, and allow real discussion of political options more than Reddit. They are not doing themselves a service by suppressing radical speech over there, they are only driving it underground, where it will become even more radical. When it happens they'll be surprised because they buried it instead of addressing it.

I like lemmy. Fuck Spez

I like Lemmy. Reddit is too corporate now

I get cyberbullyied in reddit for defend a nonbinary person in a sega dreamcast subteddit

Wasn't banned. left due to Corporatism.

Just like lemmy more

Got sick of seeing the same anger farming shit every day, then found out about the luigi censorship and just left. Honestly best choice. I'm enjoying lemmy so far, and the control I have over my experience.

Just like Lemmy more.

Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.

I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.

Well I’m queer, and apparently the ceo is MAGAt

Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.

Deleted my account when they killed 3rd party apps. Fuck that shithole.

Permabanned for being mean to Elon.

left reddit due to nazis

Was permanently banned because of "inciting violence", a.k.a. making fun of Trump and Musk with a few Luigi comments sprinkled in.

I deleted reddit after the CEO made shitty decisions. So only Lemmy. So far it has been a much better experience.
