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

The people on Lemmy make Reddit users look good. Seriously people here are mean as shit. At least on Resdit mean comments are usually downvoted.

[accideath@lemmy.world]

Same here. Couldn’t use Apollo anymore so I downloaded Voyager instead.

That's surprising to me. I've had the opposite experience, only encountering one butthead (who had plenty of downvotes).

I hope your experience improves, I rather like it here

[cenotaph@mander.xyz]

My account is in fine standing, left because I couldnt use reddit is fun anymore and there was no way I was going to switch to their app

[locuester@lemmy.zip]

Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.

It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.

Which communities do you mostly comment on? I'm probably just commenting on shitty ones. Lemmy shitpost and asklemmy are absolute dogshit.

I was already swapping preban but the ban forced me to swap, I dont lurk on reddit anymore or view posts like i did the first month or so (its uninstalled and only used on google rarely, since forums and even quoro are somehow better for useful info again), so I think I like lemmy more lol

The userbase is better, top comments opinion matches mine here, I go into a thread and I never feel the need to argue here, very different experience to modern reddit, close to reddit like 12 years ago.

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I got a note on my phone saying delete reddit its not the same 4 months before my ban, but I def had no intention of leaving til I was banned

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Karma was so meaningless, checking old posts/comments for credibility is always the best method, pretty easy to notice trolls

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

But obv the smartest most helpful ppl on any given topic have old reddit accounts with a lot of karma so they can post? That prob killed amas too, celebs prob didnt have enough karma to make a post

[Guest]

Got sick of seeing the same anger farming shit every day, then found out about the luigi censorship and just left. Honestly best choice. I'm enjoying lemmy so far, and the control I have over my experience.

[babyvi@lemmy.world]

I still have a functional reddit account. But I only use it to view old posts these days as there's still a lot of useful info on reddit.

[zombifrancis@sh.itjust.works]

I never really used Reddit, but I read an article during the API debacle in 2023 that mentioned Lemmy so I gave it a shot.

[bcsven@lemmy.ca]

I deleted reddit after the CEO made shitty decisions. So only Lemmy. So far it has been a much better experience.

[justanotherkay@lemmy.world]

I banned myself off Reddit. Deleted my 10 year old account because fuck em.

I didn't, unfortunately, obfuscate my comments before deleting them. However, I find solace in thinking that there is a small win in leaving all of that socialist propaganda in their training data

I just like lemmy more and the community around it just seems much more bearable. I don't constatly think I hate lemmings like I thought about redditors when I was on reddit.

[hddsx@lemmy.ca]

Lemmy is 99% of what Reddit used to be for me. I still use Reddit for niche stuff, but it’s a solid replacement - especially since Reddit decided we had to use their substandard interface.

[sirsamuel@lemmy.world]

Same. Still go there on desktop when I've got a question related to my profession or SW5e

[shootingstarrz17@lemmy.world]

I left Reddit after they bent the knee to M*sk.
