Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't

for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.

i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.

Yes

I just like lemmy more and the community around it just seems much more bearable. I don't constatly think I hate lemmings like I thought about redditors when I was on reddit.

I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.

But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.

Geddit still works for read only, so I use that occasionally to check on a handful of subreddits that will gain no traction here or elsewhere yet

banned

decided to finally try the alternative

So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor

I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see

They apparently use AWS, and fuck Bezos.

Banned but also like Lemmy more.

Yes; yes

I've never been permanently banned from Reddit but I have been shadow banned before on multiple occasions because I tried stopping people from spreading misinformation. But that wasn't the main reason as there were several other reasons I left Reddit. I've been using Lemmy for about 4 years now and I have no intentions of ever going back to Reddit.

Never have been.

Both sorta. I created my Lemmy account around the time Reddit started fucking with the API calls which affected Apollo, which was one of the best apps I've ever used. And I sort of split my time between Lemmy and Reddit, mainly for for the SBC gaming subreddit, but some politics and such too. And then within the last month I started getting pinged left and right for up voting stuff of all things, and then being warned about threatening violence (for saying Republicans should get their toes stepped on by the justice department).

But now I'm over here full time.

I was always wary about reddit being a non-opensource/non-federated platform. But the communities there were incredible. I remember when it really was like the 'front page of the internet'. But I could not believe the user unfriendly decisions they made, and the app ban was the death-knell.

Besides, Lemmy is awesome! Not much need to go back.

I hate reddit. Love lemmy.

Unsure about "permanent ban", but have only recreated a duplicate profile as a means to follow the same content without commenting or posting.

I hopped onto the Reddit train late in the game, partially because I was busy elsewhere, but also because of the kind of bullshit that I'd heard about which wound up being pretty accurate. Inter-subreddit feuding, mod omnipotence wielded without the sort of checks and balances or the discretion that it should be, etc. I'm a little annoyed, but not really all that put out given how little I valued it to begin with. It's said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but there wasn't even so much power to be had, some Mods were perfectly reasonable while others were practically bursting at the seams to fuck with users and jerk themselves off about it. I'll settle for news, steam giveaways and smut, thank-you-very-much.

Permanently banned for asking a really stupid question. I was having a big self-hate episode, and asked the question to affirm that I deserve something.

I should get my account banned now...

there's some niche communities i occasionally check in on on reddit, but i've basically abandoned the site ever since the api debacle killed my preferred app. i mostly just browse on mobile so a decent app was important to me.

Never been banned but I stopped commenting or even logging in on Reddit years ago, I always used r/all almost exclusively and they ruined that algorithm multiple times over. I could never really tell if I was talking to a bot or not when commenting either.

My 17 years old account is dormant.

Never used reddit

I’m not banned, just tired of reading the brigading reds spamming every thread

I just like Lemmy more.

I'm boycotting American products.

I, honestly, never used Reddit that much anyways. It's algorithms were made to keep me on the site at all costs and I never liked that.

I'm making the transition. I use both, for now.
