I’m not banned, just tired of reading the brigading reds spamming every thread

Not banned, just no high quality free apps and I got tired of paying for Narwhal. Hydra is okay but kind of laggy for some reason. Mlem is a joy to use so it makes me want to be here more.

I have no idea how many times I was permabanned. But what turned me to Lemmy was that cuntrag Spez taking away my Apollo.

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.

Fuck Reddit. Does that answer help?

I just like lemmy more, I deleted my 13 year old reddit account

Just like what lemmy stands for. I still visit reddit from time to time, mostly to use it to search for real product feedback (the window for which it will be useful is limited) and for a few niche communities that lemmy just isn't big enough to get any traction with. I post very occasionally in said communities.

Yes; yes

Not banned. I'm being the change I want to see.

I haven't been on Reddit much since they banned 3rd party apps.

Reddit didn’t permanently ban me, I permanently banned it. It started with Reddit killing third-party apps, but nowadays Reddit is a Nazi bar, so there’s no going back.

No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution. It's just the alpha version. It's better than the prototype, but it's still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.

One word - Apollo. Reddit killed it, and I left and came to Lemmy. Much happier here with more authentic engagement, and Voyager gets the job done.

I can’t say I never go back over there, but it’s almost always for live sports threads. Those just haven’t caught on yet here, though it slowly seems to be happening.

Never have been.

I came voluntarily after the third party app debacle. I never even used a third party app, it had just gotten so ridiculous that when moderators were putting together a blackout in protest, I made the decision that's when I was leaving and never returning, so that's what I did.

Both, I'm sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don't want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway

Got really close to getting permabanned, Then switched to using this. Then I started seeing people getting banned for upvoting certain content. Glad I left.

Neither.

Neither, deleted my 13+ year account.

I like lemmy. Fuck Spez

Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.

I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'

Racist, apparently.

Not explicitly answering ops q; what brought me here was a friend who introduced the Lemmy/fediverse. And this is (imo) a better alt to Reddit. It is filled with company accounts, spammers, banned or discontinued sub-reddits..

I just joined Lemmy today. I found out about it through a piracy site of all things. If it were viable I would replace everything in my life with open-source alternatives. I'm tired of companies getting greedy and ruining the things I love.

I’m permanently IP banned from Reddit. During the time when they forced everyone off of third party apps, I posted multiple times in relevant discussions about Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives. One morning when I logged in my account had a message from Reddit admins that my account and IP address was banned and that any future accounts created would be circumventing the ban and would also be banned.

More reason to leave that site anyway.

I got admin banned for saying riot police should quit en masse after RvW. The thread was full of right wingers so the topmost comments were sexist as shit. Half the thread got banned.

Just like lemmy more

Lemmy is catching up on Reddit. The technical forums/c/r are not as useful yet, and not enough of the hardware suppliers monitor the/their Lemmy communities.

Once that changes over I don't need Reddit.

Reddit is banned from me.

Yes.

Nope, not banned, chose to leave. Realized most of my anxiety and fear were due to Reddit's algorithm amping up my issues.

Was banned from a couple of subs for promoting Lemmy though.

Banning people from the internet isn't a thing, despite the drama around it.

I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.
