are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
Permabanned for inciting violence but I was talking about child molesters so fuck them.
-
I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.
-
I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.
-
I didn't wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.
-
I am the one who bans
-
I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes
-
Same. Rip rif. Never logged back in. Man I miss grimdank though. O well.

I got permabanned from the CasualUK sub for insulting boomers. In a response to the query of the word being a slur, as one person on Twitter felt picked on, I said the ones that act like the stereotype (aka self-absorbed, demeaning others) deserve the nickname the stereotype was given. I was banned for 'identity-based hate' despite the fact that being an asshole to anyone younger than you is not an identity.
I also got banned from GirlGamers for questioning the authorities, which made me realise that some mods really are pricks who rule the subs by removing people that they don't agree with, and I decided that I didn't want to reside in a site where moderators are borderline fascist, no matter how wholesome the other users are.
Someone asked if it's worth avoiding media because you don't agree with the creator. I voiced my opinion, saying that I don't think so, as long as the media makes you happy. I referred to a few examples, including "my love for the Wizarding World, despite its creator being rather toxic". This got removed for 'mentioning Hogwarts Legacy'. I reposted the comment with "(not the game, the whole franchise, power tripping mods!)" which resulted in a three day ban. I contacted the mod team, and they said I cannot question them and blocked me for thirty days, as if that wins the disagreement.
This kind of leadership, and the controversy over Reddit becoming a walled garden of censorship and run like a corporate cash cow, ended my support.

An absolute fuckton of services use AWS somewhere down the line, it's not that simple to avoid it unfortunately.
-
The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I'd never go back.
-
Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there's less of those subtle reddit-style "generalizations" here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.
-
I also left during that period. Third party apps were and are a lot better. Fuck spez.
-
Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.
-
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.

Who tf would defend FGM, are they Muslim? I'm pretty sure only Muslims do that see degenerate shit, Egypt (a Muslim country) has 95%, and their excuse for doing objectively harmful is so weird, they say it is so women don't enjoy sex and don't seek it
-
I get cyberbullyied in reddit for defend a nonbinary person in a sega dreamcast subteddit
-
I prefer this community.
