Asklemmy

Still unbanned even though I blacked out /r/piracy then actively pushed our community here until the only people left in /r/piracy were the bootlickers who wanted to reopen it and continue as usual. I never go to reddit anymore except to agitate for moving to lemmy.

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

12 years, 900K+ karma, Permabanned soon after the inauguration for repeating a statement I'd made many times before.

Came to Lemmy and found lots of recently banned veterans. Many of us were high volume posters for over a decade, and never got banned, then suddenly we all turned into monsters that had to be permabanned in the same month.

I prefer Lemmy in many ways - no puns, fewer trolls, no bots, no Russian propaganda farmers, etc., but some of my favorite subjects are badly lacking. Reddit has several very large and active guitar subs, for instance, while Lemmy's guitar forums are small and barely used.

On the other hand, the political subs are far more radical, and allow real discussion of political options more than Reddit. They are not doing themselves a service by suppressing radical speech over there, they are only driving it underground, where it will become even more radical. When it happens they'll be surprised because they buried it instead of addressing it.

I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn't feel that strongly about it.

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

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.

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

I'm boycotting American products.

no i just like supporting competition and not giant companies

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

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

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.

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.

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.

My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I just like Lemmy more.

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

Deleted my Reddit acc during the APIcalypse. Lemmy is just awesome.

I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn't offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.

both of my accounts are still up, i just like Lemmy more

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.

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

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.

Deleted my account because I burned myself out moderating a few subreddits

I like Lemmy more.

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.

Was permanently banned because of "inciting violence", a.k.a. making fun of Trump and Musk with a few Luigi comments sprinkled in.

I've just deleted my Reddit account, to switch entirly to Lemmy. No ban or something, i just don't want to use social media from the US anymore.

I was never banned on Reddit (did get the boot from like 3 subs but that was in 10 years of redditing) — but I manually purged my account when I left.

Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.

Perma-banned, and the worst part is I'm not even sure why. I logged in while away on vacation, got hit with the 'you're logging in from an usual location, please confirm with an e-mail code', and when I did that, boom, locked with no option to appeal.

I find some humor in that a robot decided I was a robot. Perhaps that will save me when the great robot uprising occurs?

I'm not banned on reddit, never have been. I use both daily. Lemmy to see what my fellow humans are talking about, Reddit for when I want to see what bots are talking about.

They gave me a tempory ban for bull crap so i deleted my 10+ year old account and moved here

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

I prefer this community.

I get cyberbullyied in reddit for defend a nonbinary person in a sega dreamcast subteddit

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

Deleted my account when they killed 3rd party apps. Fuck that shithole.

Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.
