how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?

[feelthepower@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

exactly why I came here. I was hardly using Reddit anymore as it was because it felt off. it still does feel off when I go back to visit, a lot of the posts are formatted in a very machine like way. when I found out about that r/changemyview AI comments thing I knew I wasn't crazy for thinking this.

Amen, brother. Voyager helps scratch that old Apollo itch.

[bloomcole@lemmy.world]

Frac all of them

[asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world]

Banned twice. They don't much like when I call for throwing bricks at cops.

[yoldark@lemmy.world]

I'm just making a comeback after some time. Reddit is dead, there is bots and ads and AI everywhere.

What’s the issue with just using an adblocker? You cost them money to serve your queries but don’t make them any money provided you just browse and do not comment/post/vote

I was permanently banned on Reddit June 2024 because I said I hoped the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus.

[mamdani_da_savior@lemmy.world]

They didn't like it when I was calling for the same against Nazis. Personally I don't want to be part of a community where its wrong to throw a brick at a Nazi...beating up on Nazis is as American as Apple Pie.

Came during the initial revolt. Increased attention after getting banned from Reddit because I joked I'd like a guy with a bunch of guns to give me one cause he had too many. They tried to say I was soliciting for the purchase of firearms, and when I said there was no way any serious person could have thought I was asking to buy a gun, they told me the lifetime ban was in place and if I ever came around again they'd ban me for ban evasion.

Lul. That place is a total fucking hellscape.

I imagine that, when deciding whether calls to violence/murder should be grounds for banning, the reasons to ban likely outweighed the reasons not to by a lot

Reddit can 9gag on my TikTok.

[fmtx@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I joined Reddit thanks to 3rd party apps, and when they turned their back on them I was out too.

I used one of those automated programs that used the old.reddit API to overwrite all my comments. I took a break for lunch, thinking to delete my account afterwards, but when I came back my account had been permanently banned.

So it was definitely like one of those "You can't quit, you're fired" type of situations.

From time to time I visit the site because of search results, but from what I can tell, all the main subreddits are filled with bots reposting the same content from 5 years ago.

I bailed when they started banning people for upvoting Luigi content. I'd already drastically reduced my usage when the appocalypse happened and RIF no longer worked, but that level of panopticon shit was too much.

[boredgamer@lemmy.world]

I still use both but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Been making political posts on Reddit for a while now & I'm convinced the mods of r/meme will perma ban me after my temp ban is lifted. Can't speak the truth even if it gets millions of views.

[cocopanda@lemmy.world]

I can create a new accounts if I wanted to. I just gave up on Reddit. They banned me for posting about how a local Nazi. Tried to get a youth center burned down because it had a LGBTQ flag up for pride month. The guy is a captain at a county jail to.

[cocopanda@lemmy.world]

Same thing happened to me. They noticed I started mass deleting my comments and I got hit with a ban on that specific account.

[auth@lemmy.world]

I got banned for being unhinged towards users who were doing (IMO) obvious nazi dogwhistles and the mods sided against me. Fuck them mods and fuck the users who accept that shit. The posters knew exactly what they were signaling.

[josefo@leminal.space]

Same. Used rif.

[ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works]

I came here during the API thing, stopped going on Reddit on my phone, and soon after left the site entirely.

[selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works]

Yup. Then I forgot what community I was on and had to start over again.
