Ask Lemmy

I did

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

I haven't had a Reddit account thank god lol. but Reddit bans people just for saying the word Luigi, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people who've been unfairly banned from Spez's shitsite come here

Them killing Apollo had me pissed, but for whatever reason I put up with it, waiting for something better. People were starting to talk about Emmy and I thought that was interesting and didn’t really look into it again until I said something mean about Elon and got caught up in a ban wave.

I’m not banned from Reddit, but I did come here out of disgust for their many many shitty policies, and their entire ethos as both a website and a company.

One of the worst parts is that all the draconian stuff they do, doesn't even seem to be effective at achieving its stated purpose.

After Reddit killed Apollo, I refused to participate and only used it for news and to see discussions about random stuff. I’d heard about Lemmy back then, but it sounded like it was Reddit for Reddit rejects which didn’t sound appealing. After the big Bluesky migration, I tried it out and I was more open to the idea of the fediverse. Lemmy ended up scratching the Reddit itch when I tried it, even though there’s a serious problem with sub discovery that I think holds it back.

I'm most interested in the smaller subs on Reddit, like ArchViz, Blender, some others, and regional sites--state and city level. Lemmy just doesn't have much activity on such comms, so I'm still on Reddit for that. I split my time about 60/40.

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

got banned for supporting Luigi. albeit a bit vocally.

I expect everybody came here from Reddit.

I left reddit a little over two years ago. The API debacle was the end, though I had been mostly offline for a few months prior.

The fediverse has only gotten better since. However, this is my fourth account. I joined vlemmy, which disappeared overnight, then lemm.ee, which shut down recently, then another instance which wasn’t for me, and now reddthat. I also signed up for hexbear after a few beers, forgot my password, haven’t been able to contact the mods, didn’t use an email address and haven’t been able to get back in since.

Me, arbitrary ass ban while using an alt trying to gain karma on the front page so I could post with it, my first comment insta banned all accounts permanently because I guess I was banned from that sub on my main/og account.

I use both because Reddit done screwed over my preferred mobile platform. So now I use Lemmy on mobile and Reddit on the desktop

Me, I'm getting constantly banned from r/Europe by this moronic mods.

Banned by writing about that Germany never paid anything to Poland for holocaust of Polish citizens

I'm reading worldnews rules on Lemmy. There should be lax rules, no ban whatsoever - only for pedophilia and obvious crime like drugs, terrorism, videos of murders

Took away my subreddits that I created with cumulative 200k+ subscribers and perma-banned me for a fake reason (using alternate account to evade subreddit ban).

Never again.

I came hoping for more intelligent content and less middle-schoolish "I hate and if you don't hate it enough too you're EVIL!"

Found pretty much the same level of that, but I do like the UI better.

raises hand

I see a lot more banned users and deleted comments on lemmy than I did on reddit.

Came here originally for a pirate community in dbzero, mistakenly joined .ml, then finally joined World. Maybe PieFed is next, who knows. Never let them know your next move.

Left around the API drama times. I still visit, but haven't posted anything for two years.

My only regret is that I still haven't defaced my profile over there - I'm looking for ways to save my data and somehow link it to the original posts/comments, because besides the shitposting, I've posted some things that could be useful to myself too.

A lot.

Jumped ship when that API shit started. I like this communities way more than a lot ob subreddits that have been around before.

Came to Mastodon when Elon nabbed Twitter, came to Lemmy when the Reddit apps got stuffed. (Well, I originally got on Kbin, not Lemmy.)

I got banned from one of my favorite subreddits, which made it a lot less fun over there.

I haven't seriously posted anything on reddit since the APIcalypse but still lurk there occasionally.

It's also still a decent source of tech information and user experience but that will soon be over as well.

These days reddit is filled with AI slop, malicious bots, Russian trolls, nazi propaganda etc. Outside of some niche subreddits that site is not worth interacting with anymore than necessary.

I got banned while on a work trip to the United States. I hadn't posted at the time for more than a year.

I requested my post history from them and posted it up publicly to see if anyone could figure out why, I've still got no idea.

There's a link to my post history in a previous winge about it https://lemmy.nz/post/2224688/2959801.
