Asklemmy

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 got a bullshit warning about harassment on a 5 day old post that said "Don't be a jerk to people you don't know and you won't have that problem" Appealed it and got told it it was harassment.
Fuck reddit.
I'm slowly going through my posting history and editing anything useful to the AI training to be nonsense.

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.

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 have already saved subreddits I liked on bookmarks, but after so many suspensions and bans for literally stupid reasons I had enough of this cesspool which is reddit and surprisingly I feel a lot better, I think reddit takes way more than it gives to anyone, I use lemmy moderately and that's the way things should be with anything, not sure I will ever get back on reddit again

Still unbanned even though I blacked out /r/piracy then actively pushed our community here until the only people left in /r/piracy were the bootlickers who wanted to reopen it and continue as usual. I never go to reddit anymore except to agitate for moving to lemmy.

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.

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've been banned for saying pro luigi or similar stuff, but since I am not attached to my account I just make a new one. The most annoying part of getting banned is just resubbing to your preferred subreddits. I prefer lemmy now days anyway and it is nice to see familiar usernames now and then and I don't get as annoyed seeing constant liberalism. I still use Reddit for some things like really niche subjects, questions, or hobbies and people can be genuinely helpful in some subreddits ngl.

I also find the moderation here to be much fairer and more protective of vulnerable groups.

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

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.

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

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.

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

no i just like supporting competition and not giant companies

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.

My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I'm boycotting American products.

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

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 like Lemmy more.

both of my accounts are still up, i just like Lemmy more

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.

I just like Lemmy more.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I was never banned on Reddit (did get the boot from like 3 subs but that was in 10 years of redditing) — but I manually purged my account when I left.

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

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

I prefer this community.

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.

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

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

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

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

Also some girl called Nicole just messaged me 😍

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?
