Asklemmy

just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app

Perma-banned, and the worst part is I'm not even sure why. I logged in while away on vacation, got hit with the 'you're logging in from an usual location, please confirm with an e-mail code', and when I did that, boom, locked with no option to appeal.

I find some humor in that a robot decided I was a robot. Perhaps that will save me when the great robot uprising occurs?

I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn't offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.

No but Reddit sucks.

Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.

I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'

Racist, apparently.

Yes.

After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.

Banning people from the internet isn't a thing, despite the drama around it.

Left during the APIcalypse, largely only go back to help guide people to the fire exits.

Both

I just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content

I think so? I used to browse the site over breakfast, and one morning, Apollo couldn't connect. I don't want to cause trouble by trying to log in, if I'm banned, so I have not tried to log in another way.

🤭

I want lemmy to succeed. Sadly reddit has better shitposts

They gave me a tempory ban for bull crap so i deleted my 10+ year old account and moved here

Left on the API troubles went back once or twice for warframe and other small comunities but been liking here much better. I engage with people in here. It doesn't feel like screaming into the void.

Just left during the API thing. I've rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it's minutes a month if that much.

Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.

I use both while Lemmy's community is smaller. I yearn for a world with more small owners of the internet.

I like lemmy more.

No, but I'm banned from:

• r/republican for asking if they have ever heard about besieged fortress syndrome
• r/twoXchromosomes for telling a mod that she's bullying a person who disagreed with her in a discussion about abuse - like an abuser would (the mod was trying to rally other people into joining her into cyberbulling)
• r/menslib for writing that being a victim is not an excuse in a thread about a 20-something yo woman grooming young girls into porn (she herself too was groomed).
• some political ones for "hate speech against Russians" - for cursing them and their invasion of Ukraine.

Lemmy is my best friend now.

I banned myself off Reddit. Deleted my 10 year old account because fuck em.

I didn't, unfortunately, obfuscate my comments before deleting them. However, I find solace in thinking that there is a small win in leaving all of that socialist propaganda in their training data

I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.

I'm not banned on reddit, never have been. I use both daily. Lemmy to see what my fellow humans are talking about, Reddit for when I want to see what bots are talking about.

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

Fuck Reddit. Does that answer help?

I have no idea how many times I was permabanned. But what turned me to Lemmy was that cuntrag Spez taking away my Apollo.
