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

[pineapplelover@lemm.ee]

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.

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.

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.

[masterflamingo@lemm.ee]

Basically, this is the same for me as well. I like Lemmy but there’s just not enough content yet and that’s OK but until then I’m gonna naturally gravitate to other social media until more staff is able to transition over. Half of the post seems to be reddit reposts.

[rational_lib@lemmy.world]

Reddit had its advantages but when they forced everyone to have r/all as a default sub I feel like the content really started going downhill and all the subs started becoming the same. Then when the API thing happened I realized it wasn't going to get better, they were determined to become Facebook.

[pixelpilgrim@lemmings.world]

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month

[Guest]

i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.

[cocopanda@futurology.today]

Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.

[nightcrawlerpromax@lemmy.world]

I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.
