are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Drag's banned from Reddit

[Guest]

Already planned to leave after they cut off third party apps and finally made the move recently due to the CEO bowing for M*sk and deleting unwanted content. Was already looking at Lemmy and finally set up my instance and made the move - and it works for me.

[hmmm@sh.itjust.works]

Lemmy more.

[rabber@lemmy.ca]

Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't

[Guest]

I want to use Lemmy more but the content just isn’t enough yet especially on niche topics and hobbies. I do try to come here for the “front page” over Reddit, since those posts on Reddit get so many replies you ain’t reading them all anyways.

But when it’s time to talk World of Warcraft, for example, Lemmy is mostly dead.

[nauticalnoodle@lemmy.ml]

Wasn't banned. left due to Corporatism.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn't like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

Edit: damn it's almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

Edit: I can't believe cm0002 copied your exact same post

Banned but also like Lemmy more.

The API killing my preferred third party app did it for me. And the blatant astroturfing/karma farming also meant that it wasn't a good experience on there.

I will say though, the Reddit hivemind effect is still present on Lemmy. Though I think there's less tepid posts to raise account karma here.

I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.

[evotech@lemmy.world]

I like Lemmy. Reddit is too corporate now

[biofaust@lemmy.world]

I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted.
I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm.
I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked.

[zecg@lemmy.world]

It's not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

[fingolfinz@lemmy.world]

I like lemmy more. There is no real permaban on reddit btw. I’ve been “permabanned” like 20 times on there

[turdburglar@lemm.ee]

for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.

[urquell@lemm.ee]

Fuck /u/spez

[kn33@lemmy.world]

I still use reddit on desktop, but it's all Lemmy on mobile thanks to Boost.

[dumbass@leminal.space]

Lemmy is my best friend now.

[0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.

[truite@jlai.lu]

I'm not banned because I almost never post or log in reddit, but I'm still going. There are communities I didn't find here. But I try to participate more here.
