I just like Lemmy more.

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.

But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.

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

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 1 points 4 months ago

I should get my account banned now...

[–] sinceasdf@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Never been banned but I stopped commenting or even logging in on Reddit years ago, I always used r/all almost exclusively and they ruined that algorithm multiple times over. I could never really tell if I was talking to a bot or not when commenting either.

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Both of those facts can exist at the same time. I believe I am partly banned from some Subs if only because I disagreed with the Reddit Hivemind and the Mods crazy power trips.

Lemmy is 1000% more open minded.

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

Technically I’m still on it. I just stopped interacting there. Might post on some of the niche crafting subreddits sometimes in the future because I miss those on here. For everything else Lemmy is far superior. Decided to β€œswitch over” when I found out that half of my comments and posts got shadowbanned.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

there's some niche communities i occasionally check in on on reddit, but i've basically abandoned the site ever since the api debacle killed my preferred app. i mostly just browse on mobile so a decent app was important to me.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven't even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it's way less likely I'll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I only read two sub reddits via Firefox. (mostly for sports highlights / news)

I never post or interact anymore, I'm giving them zero content or engagement and always with all ad blockers / pi hole on max blast.

I was on reddit over 10 years, but once sync went I was done.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I'm making the transition. I use both, for now.

[–] badbrainstorm@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Geddit still works for read only, so I use that occasionally to check on a handful of subreddits that will gain no traction here or elsewhere yet

[–] pec@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I'm boycotting American products.

[–] turdburglar@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.

Unsure about "permanent ban", but have only recreated a duplicate profile as a means to follow the same content without commenting or posting.

I hopped onto the Reddit train late in the game, partially because I was busy elsewhere, but also because of the kind of bullshit that I'd heard about which wound up being pretty accurate. Inter-subreddit feuding, mod omnipotence wielded without the sort of checks and balances or the discretion that it should be, etc. I'm a little annoyed, but not really all that put out given how little I valued it to begin with. It's said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but there wasn't even so much power to be had, some Mods were perfectly reasonable while others were practically bursting at the seams to fuck with users and jerk themselves off about it. I'll settle for news, steam giveaways and smut, thank-you-very-much.

My 17 years old account is dormant.

I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see

Both sorta. I created my Lemmy account around the time Reddit started fucking with the API calls which affected Apollo, which was one of the best apps I've ever used. And I sort of split my time between Lemmy and Reddit, mainly for for the SBC gaming subreddit, but some politics and such too. And then within the last month I started getting pinged left and right for up voting stuff of all things, and then being warned about threatening violence (for saying Republicans should get their toes stepped on by the justice department).

But now I'm over here full time.

[–] rebelflesh@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

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 β€œexperts” 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.

Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated Should be prepetrated in the foreigner's land. It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform.

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

[–] NahMarcas@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Im not reddit, im prefer something more clean: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org -1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

The people on Lemmy make Reddit users look good. Seriously people here are mean as shit. At least on Resdit mean comments are usually downvoted.
