Left around the API drama times. I still visit, but haven't posted anything for two years.
My only regret is that I still haven't defaced my profile over there - I'm looking for ways to save my data and somehow link it to the original posts/comments, because besides the shitposting, I've posted some things that could be useful to myself too.
Took away my subreddits that I created with cumulative 200k+ subscribers and perma-banned me for a fake reason (using alternate account to evade subreddit ban).
Never again.
I got banned while on a work trip to the United States. I hadn't posted at the time for more than a year.
I requested my post history from them and posted it up publicly to see if anyone could figure out why, I've still got no idea.
There's a link to my post history in a previous winge about it https://lemmy.nz/post/2224688/2959801.
Banned twice. They don't much like when I call for throwing bricks at cops.
They didn't like it when I was calling for the same against Nazis. Personally I don't want to be part of a community where its wrong to throw a brick at a Nazi...beating up on Nazis is as American as Apple Pie.
I imagine that, when deciding whether calls to violence/murder should be grounds for banning, the reasons to ban likely outweighed the reasons not to by a lot
A lot.
Jumped ship when that API shit started. I like this communities way more than a lot ob subreddits that have been around before.
raises hand
Yeah, got a few temp bans for talking about shitler/muskrat and they perma-banned my account for "harassment". The post they linked me to didn't even link to a comment; it wasn't something I remember posting on.
I was getting tired of the culture over there anyway. I was also tired of arguing with conservatives who think their shit doesn't stink and regurgitate Fox News talking points about the "illegals" and ICE.
I came here after deciding to quit reddit. I'm Canadian. I had no problems with reddit other than Trump's threats to annex (invade) Canada. I'm also joining my national brothers and sisters in the tariff boycotts.
A lot, the question is when.
The first wave has been getting banned since the US regime took control over it in the person of Jessica Ashoosh (2016).
And a whole lot more since the genocide in Palestine.
The slightest criticism was enough.
So I have my doubts on the large group of libs that only got banned since Trump.
They didn't care about anything but themselves and only what their government now does to them.
They are perfectly fine going back to a nice 'democratic' fascist-lite regime that only terrorises other countries while they live in their bubble.
I was permanently banned on Reddit June 2024 because I said I hoped the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus.
