Asklemmy

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.

My 17 years old account is dormant.

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 pre existing 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! 😃

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.

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.

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.

I should get my account banned now...

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

I hate reddit. Love lemmy.

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.

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 “switch over” when I found out that half of my comments and posts got shadowbanned.

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.

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.

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 just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 “experts” 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.

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.

Drag's banned from Reddit
