Asklemmy

Never been banned anywhere except Facebook.

I make a new throwaway every time I go to reddit so Idk maybe I've been banned but it's pretty dumb to ban someone who's making new accounts with proxies every time.

I hate reddit. Love lemmy.

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

Permanently banned for asking a really stupid question. I was having a big self-hate episode, and asked the question to affirm that I deserve something.

Banned but also like Lemmy more.

I’m not banned, just tired of reading the brigading reds spamming every thread

Never used reddit

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.

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 think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.

I was always wary about reddit being a non-opensource/non-federated platform. But the communities there were incredible. I remember when it really was like the 'front page of the internet'. But I could not believe the user unfriendly decisions they made, and the app ban was the death-knell.

Besides, Lemmy is awesome! Not much need to go back.

I like lenmy more

banned

decided to finally try the alternative

So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor

I find it interesting that there's a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Banned outta nowhere. I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and it was denied with no explanation. 2 accounts. Several 100 thousand post and comment karma on one of them. I had been banned from individual communities for pissing off random mods but never a site admin.

Fuck em. I hope it crashes and burns.

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.

Never been banned from anywhere nor do I intend to. I never made a Reddit account because of that scandal where a really talented artist got banned because the mods thought their art was AI generated even though the artist kept proving it wasn't. What happened to Reddit since has only cemented my prexisting disdain for that site.

I decided to join social media early last year and I remember Lemmy was on one of the lists of new social media sites, so I joined it and have been having a great time ever since! 😃

Yes

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.

Never have been.

Yes; yes

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.

Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't

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

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 banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

I've never had a Reddit account so I guess that I've never been banned, technically.

I just like lemmy more and the community around it just seems much more bearable. I don't constatly think I hate lemmings like I thought about redditors when I was on reddit.
