Never been banned anywhere except Facebook.

I make a new throwaway every time I go to reddit so Idk maybe I've been banned but it's pretty dumb to ban someone who's making new accounts with proxies every time.

I only read two sub reddits via Firefox. (mostly for sports highlights / news)

I never post or interact anymore, I'm giving them zero content or engagement and always with all ad blockers / pi hole on max blast.

I was on reddit over 10 years, but once sync went I was done.

I still have a reddit account, but I find Lemmy to be a freer space that feels less overrun by bots and power mods. It also doesn't seem to cycle through posts as fast, making it more of a discussion-forward space rather than a black hole of doomscrolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Both of those facts can exist at the same time. I believe I am partly banned from some Subs if only because I disagreed with the Reddit Hivemind and the Mods crazy power trips.

Lemmy is 1000% more open minded.

I've never had a Reddit account so I guess that I've never been banned, technically.

I like lenmy more

I find it interesting that there's a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven't even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it's way less likely I'll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!

Dont have an account on reddit, so not banned. I do lurk from time to time though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I bailed over the whole API thing, bacon reader was reddit for me.

Now lemmy is the only social media I use, and my life is better for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Never been banned from anywhere nor do I intend to. I never made a Reddit account because of that scandal where a really talented artist got banned because the mods thought their art was AI generated even though the artist kept proving it wasn't. What happened to Reddit since has only cemented my pre existing disdain for that site.

I decided to join social media early last year and I remember Lemmy was on one of the lists of new social media sites, so I joined it and have been having a great time ever since! 😃

There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Closed reddit account and loving Lemmy! Here to stay. 😀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I got perma banned because a power tripping moderator of unitedstatesofIndia had me banned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Banned off r/technology for no good reason. Reddit is a doom scroll and I wanted to try something else. I still use Reddit for tech discussions as it's got a lot more users.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Technically I’m still on it. I just stopped interacting there. Might post on some of the niche crafting subreddits sometimes in the future because I miss those on here. For everything else Lemmy is far superior. Decided to “switch over” when I found out that half of my comments and posts got shadowbanned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Deleted my Reddit acc during the APIcalypse. Lemmy is just awesome.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago

I’ve gotten myself banned from Reddit before, I just make a new account, I just started hating everything those neurotypicals say.

I found out about Lenny when I got fed up with “experts” giving the most brain rot advice on my field el expertise and realizing it is like that now.

Lenny has been amazing is the old internet and I really missed the old funny internet.

Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated Should be prepetrated in the foreigner's land. It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform.

The people on Lemmy make Reddit users look good. Seriously people here are mean as shit. At least on Resdit mean comments are usually downvoted.
