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.

Iβm not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities Iβm subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, Iβm 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 Iβm interested in.
I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions Iβm keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.
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) β but I manually purged my account when I left.
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 just like lemmy more, I deleted my 13 year old reddit account
Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.
Left during the APIcalypse, largely only go back to help guide people to the fire exits.
I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didnβt like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because βthe moderators need to be able to protect their communitiesβ.
My joke: β1 like=1 wank π«‘ β

I never really used Reddit, but I read an article during the API debacle in 2023 that mentioned Lemmy so I gave it a shot.
I want lemmy to succeed. Sadly reddit has better shitposts
Both
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.
Yes.
No but Reddit sucks.
Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome
both of my accounts are still up, i just like Lemmy more
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?
At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.
Lemmy is my best friend now.
just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app
I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.
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.
Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month
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 just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content
I use both while Lemmy's community is smaller. I yearn for a world with more small owners of the internet.
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.
I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.
Neither.
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
Fuck Reddit. Does that answer help?
I like lemmy more, but it doesn't have as much daily content, so I use both.
I have no idea how many times I was permabanned. But what turned me to Lemmy was that cuntrag Spez taking away my Apollo.
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. :)
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.
