Asklemmy

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month

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

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.

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?

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 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 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.

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.

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.

When Reddit changed the layout (new/old) some ten years ago, I started using a 3rd party app, because "new reddit" was everything that I hated about other sites. I stopped using it when they killed 3rd party apps, but that was really just the final nail in the coffin anyway. It was rotten to the core long before that.

I'm still using both, but I'm sure with the changes in administration I'll be getting banned soon. I already got a warning for saying that self-declared kings are liable to self-declared regicide

I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.

I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I'm realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I'm noticing that it wasn't that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.

I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.

I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn't good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.

But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.

I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

I like lemmy more.

I just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content

just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app

After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

I want lemmy to succeed. Sadly reddit has better shitposts

No but Reddit sucks.

Left during the APIcalypse, largely only go back to help guide people to the fire exits.

Left on the API troubles went back once or twice for warframe and other small comunities but been liking here much better. I engage with people in here. It doesn't feel like screaming into the void.

I started winding down when Alexis Ohanian fired the AMA subreddit's organizer; lied to her face; and blamed Ellen Pao (CEO at the time).
I started going there only when desperate after the API scandal.
The only thing that I miss is the ability to see just the subreddits I specify in the url (i.e. r/news+technology+worldnews+etc+etc)

I still have a functional reddit account. But I only use it to view old posts these days as there's still a lot of useful info on reddit.

Perma banned. Definitely Perma banned.

Funny how I went what thirteen years or something, being the same cranky old progressive I've always been yet the MOMENT the orange cancer takes office again and reddit kowtows to muskrat, I get permanently banned.

Karma like no tomorrow so apparently a lot of people agreed with me.

The 3rd party app change didn't sit well with me. Ended up stop using reddit on my phone entirely since native was horrible. Ended up coming here when the crackdown on "Luigi" was happening and other censorship that was questionable AF. The amount of content here obviously isn't comparable to reddit, yet, but it's enough to digest throughout the day on work poop breaks and whatnot. :)

Both

I like Lemmy more because it is more aligned with my interest, notably Tech and Linux. I also like to have smaller communities in which your interaction have impact and are being read instead of being lost in thoudands of comments.

I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.

Saw one mod in a sub bragging about how they banned lots of users for challenging a post and they were getting cheered on. Wonder if that is in line with reddit's policy?

On average I think I end up spending more time on reddit, but I contribute to and like this community a lot more.

Fuck Reddit. Does that answer help?

Both, I'm sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don't want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway
