I mostly switched to lemmy because the mobile reddit app i used finally broke after the api changes.

I refuse to use that shitty reddit app and the creator of the app i used made a lemmy app so here i am

I’m banned off reddit. It was only a generic message i got saying I violated multiple rules. First it was my alt and then my main hours later. I have no idea what happened. Maybe me being on a public wi fi at a hotel and then someone there logged in two weeks later with a banned account so it got connected to mine.

With lemmy was active as reddit. Now it’s just a read only site for me.

Never banned. Just moved over here after it was even more clear that they don’t have our best interests in mind. And never did.

Same for Xitter.

I left reddit one December (think it was 2023). They showed off thier Reddit Recap. Realised I switched from windows to linux to AVOID data collection, then use an app that gladly showed off all the data they collect.

I never used Reddit properly, Lemmy was also open source, I get no replies, no interaction on Reddit, nearly every comment and post I make on Lemmy gets someone to reply, it’s almost impossible to go back to Reddit once you get used to you always getting some form of attention

Haven’t had a reddit account since ~2015. Saw no value for a long time. Here is different.

I’m definitely banned permanently, I’m pretty sure I’ve got one of those evercookies somewhere that will make sure I stay banned, whether it’s outright or a shadow-ban.

And it is mainly because of having engaged with some of the lowest of the low, deformed individuals that somehow inhabit there untouched. It had gotten so bad to where they would bombard my posts when I was ranting about things like my shitty job and they just dogpile on you for no reason other than they can because the mods aren’t active enough.

I can’t imagine what it is like now being there and trying to criticize Musk or something since he’s apparently having a say now on it and Spez will bend over for his daddy.

Perma banned for saying child rapists should get a taste of their own medicine.

I like lemmy more because it feels like I get more interaction when I post here. Smaller communities are just better for meaningful discussion.

I am.

First, I got a three days ban for ‘prompting violence’. The flagged post said just literally ‘The Heritage foundation should be labeled as a terrorist group in Europe’. I appealed, just to get the temporary ban confirmed with no further reasoning.

But that was moot, because two days after that I got a permaban for ‘using multiple accounts to evade a temporary ban’. I just had an account, with a good number of years behind. I appealed this too, and got a ‘we are not changing this’ reply.

So I nuked my account, looked a little bit around and found this.

I miss some of the technical communities I was part in Reddit. But fuck them.

I just like Lemmy more

The preponderance of flagrant double standards in moderation policies did it in for me. I deleted a 14 year old account when it became clear that there was going to be a clear effort on behalf of reddit’s corporate leadership to push bullshit narratives and purge anyone who spoke up about it. I figured it was only a matter of time before someone invented a reason to ban me.

Turns out I don’t even miss it.

unfortunately not banned

Never been banned on reddit but I prefer how there is less of a moderation here for my searing hot takes when I feel like shitposting

I’m not banned, I just won’t go there anymore.
