Yup. Then I forgot what community I was on and had to start over again.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Left reddit when the API nonsense was coming and the site had gotten so bad in general.

[–] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I still use both but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Been making political posts on Reddit for a while now & I'm convinced the mods of r/meme will perma ban me after my temp ban is lifted. Can't speak the truth even if it gets millions of views.

[–] ProteanG6777@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 6 days ago

Rude awakening came last year after using reddit since 2015. Got banned for responding to r4r prompts. These days its become a cesspit for telegram ads and spam. Ironical you ban humans for botlike activities but let bots roam freely .

Joined lemmy and mostly use discord as an alt for redit subs i was actively involved in.

[–] Yoldark@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I'm just making a comeback after some time. Reddit is dead, there is bots and ads and AI everywhere.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

In this thread: People learning about digital immigration.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

I made my account simply because I'm interested in federated/noncommercial social media. Left reddit for good once they fucked over the 3rd party apps.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 6 days ago

I left during the API debacle.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I got banned too many times for telling people to punch Nazis. Eventually I was permad. Haven't really tried to circumvent it much because why would I want to use a platform that vehemently protects Nazis?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 6 days ago

Not banned. It had been going downhill, so I made up my mind I'd leave during blackout, kbin.social had been shared by Ernest there (hope he's okay), and ended up on Lemmy.

Eta cool username

[–] 37piecesof_flare@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

Got a few accounts banned there. It became for increasingly ridiculous reasons over time, so I decided after getting perma-banned for saying I hope trump strokes out from some condition he was said to have (blood pooling in his cankles), I decided the catering to the Maga pigs was too much - apparently saying you hope someone's condition worsens is "violence" now. Another was banned from a local subreddit for throwing out the idea of removing valve cores from the tires of ICE vehicles to slow them down. Insane. Done with that horseshit, the censorship has become out of fucking control there.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Me, I got banned. I still used RIF until it died just to read Reddit, but once that was over I was done.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I did. Not banned though.

[–] dimjim@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Like many in the comments, I left after the API changes. I'm not using their shitty app, and it's so bot infested now it's not even worth it.

[–] LockheedTheDragon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I lived through Livejournal choosing to destroy itself and saw Reddit doing the same things and worse and walked away. Choosing short term profits over people makes me NOPE out. No bans or warnings for me. I guess I just don't type "dangerous" stuff even though I consider myself pretty opinionated.

[–] ramenbelly@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

After my fourth or fifth perma ,, I decided Reddit was probably not for me .

[–] oplkill@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Shadow banned due to automatic filter

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I left during the API bullshit and never looked back.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

only fully transitioned when I got banned for some statement defending victims of violence

started looking during the API fiasco

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Me fuck reddit mods, bunch of basement dwelling nerds with nothing in life

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

2 years into the fediverse; left during the IPO enshittification nonsense when they removed public access APIs and made Apollo impossible.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago

Got banned a little before the whole API thing because Reddit admins think child molesters deserve a safe space. Fuck them and their shithole site.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Not banned from Reddit, but I was given a warning for suggesting big tech was unethical.
