Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

Never have been.

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.

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.

I'm boycotting American products.

I just like Lemmy more.

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

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 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 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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Yes

i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.

I like lenmy more

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

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

Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't

Yes; yes

Banned but also like Lemmy more.

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!

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.
