are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see
-
no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn't going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don't need reddit.
-
They'll still identify your device with many other data points available to them. Or at least they seem to be with me, even with VPNs and alternate browsers.
My modem doesn't get a new external IP on reboot, either. None of mine ever have, that I can recall
-
Yep.
discover I'm banned from a sub, given no notice of the ban, broke no rules
message mods to ask why, receive no response
ok, whatever, I'll just use another account to continue participating but be damn sure I only have positive comments from now on
permabanned for ban evasion
-
I tried to stop using it when they got rid of third-party apps, but there were just too many communities that were active and had the content that I wanted. Lots of DIY and hobby stuff.
And then of course, somebody has to call people out when they're spewing out racist shit or talking bullshit.
-
Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.
-
Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome
-
Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there's less content so I don't scroll as much.
I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this "I had 1500 karma coins" or whatever)
-
no puns
A lot of that had to be karma farming
-
I hate reddit. Love lemmy.
-
I like lemmy more.
-
My main and all my alts except one was banned cause I kept reporting blatant ads disguised as legitimate posts as spam. Happened around the same time they killed off 3rd party apps, so I needed a good excuse to try Lemmy anyway.
-
Permanently banned for asking a really stupid question. I was having a big self-hate episode, and asked the question to affirm that I deserve something.
-
After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.
