Asklemmy

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.

Both

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 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?

I was already swapping preban but the ban forced me to swap, I dont lurk on reddit anymore or view posts like i did the first month or so (its uninstalled and only used on google rarely, since forums and even quoro are somehow better for useful info again), so I think I like lemmy more lol

The userbase is better, top comments opinion matches mine here, I go into a thread and I never feel the need to argue here, very different experience to modern reddit, close to reddit like 12 years ago.

Trying to switch over. I use them both, but the threats to reddit freedom and it's fast enshitification are the reasons I am currently using both.

Plus, the automod are out of control. I got a three day ban for quoting Clerks. (Try not to blow anyone on your way through the parking lot). I wasn't even being mean, it was all for laughs and got a lot of upvotes before some automod refered me to a prude of a moderator.

I like lemmy more, but it doesn't have as much daily content, so I use both.

I'm not angry when I use lemmy. So, I like it here.

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. :)

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

You can get banned on Reddit? I thought you can only get banned by those sweaty mods.

I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

Neither.

no i just like supporting competition and not giant companies

I had an account on reddit, about five years old until I finally decided to leave it because i spend an ungodly amount of time there. Knowing myself and my habit to flake on self set goals I thought out the ultimate strategy to keep me from coming back: Over a couple of weeks I intentionally posted atrocious stuff on my main and my two alt-accounts to get me permabanned and burn every single bridge.

For now it has successfully stopped me from wasting time there any longer.

Temporary ban but Reddit is becoming less and less fun. Less interesting.

It’s time to move on.

I have no idea how many times I was permabanned. But what turned me to Lemmy was that cuntrag Spez taking away my Apollo.

Reddit sucks, it's getting worse day after day. I'm still there, but moving to Lemmy.

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 knew about Lemmy, but didn't migrate until months after drama in Reddit.

I got permabanned from the CasualUK sub for insulting boomers. In a response to the query of the word being a slur, as one person on Twitter felt picked on, I said the ones that act like the stereotype (aka self-absorbed, demeaning others) deserve the nickname the stereotype was given. I was banned for 'identity-based hate' despite the fact that being an asshole to anyone younger than you is not an identity.

I also got banned from GirlGamers for questioning the authorities, which made me realise that some mods really are pricks who rule the subs by removing people that they don't agree with, and I decided that I didn't want to reside in a site where moderators are borderline fascist, no matter how wholesome the other users are.

Someone asked if it's worth avoiding media because you don't agree with the creator. I voiced my opinion, saying that I don't think so, as long as the media makes you happy. I referred to a few examples, including "my love for the Wizarding World, despite its creator being rather toxic". This got removed for 'mentioning Hogwarts Legacy', VERY loosely tying my comment with a sub rule. I reposted the comment twice, once omitting the Wizarding World, and once a copy of the original, adding "(not the game, the whole franchise, power tripping mods!)" which resulted in a three day ban. (For those who don't know, the Wizarding World means the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This is a very large media franchise spanning a significant more mediums than one game. There are seven more games, in fact). I contacted the mod team, and they said I cannot question them, permabanned me from GirlGamers, and blocked me for thirty days, as if that wins the disagreement.

This kind of leadership, and the controversy over Reddit becoming a walled garden of censorship and run like a corporate cash cow, ended my support. I deleted my account and cut ties emotionally with the communities there.

I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.

I'm not banned on reddit, never have been. I use both daily. Lemmy to see what my fellow humans are talking about, Reddit for when I want to see what bots are talking about.

Deleted my account because I burned myself out moderating a few subreddits
