Ask Lemmy

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

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

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.

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.

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

In this thread: People learning about digital immigration.

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.

I left during the API debacle.

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?

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

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.

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

I did. Not banned though.

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.

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.

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

Shadow banned due to automatic filter

I left during the API bullshit and never looked back.

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

started looking during the API fiasco

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

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

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.

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