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

The problem is even if you point out the issues with that religion, you can get banned from certain subs. I am an ex muslim and non binary. I got perma banned because I reported a moderator who supported sexist practices and then he went and got me perma banned via admins.
-
I just like Lemmy more.

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.
My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I’ve gotten myself banned from Reddit before, I just make a new account, I just started hating everything those neurotypicals say.
I found out about Lenny when I got fed up with “experts” giving the most brain rot advice on my field el expertise and realizing it is like that now.
Lenny has been amazing is the old internet and I really missed the old funny internet.

I, honestly, never used Reddit that much anyways. It's algorithms were made to keep me on the site at all costs and I never liked that.

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.
I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

You monster!

no i just like supporting competition and not giant companies

I came as soon as the app i used stopped working.
cleared all the posts and comments from my accounts over there way before that though. they were signaling their enshitification a lot earlier than that.

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

I've never been permanently banned from Reddit but I have been shadow banned before on multiple occasions because I tried stopping people from spreading misinformation. But that wasn't the main reason as there were several other reasons I left Reddit. I've been using Lemmy for about 4 years now and I have no intentions of ever going back to Reddit.

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn't feel that strongly about it.

12 years, 900K+ karma, Permabanned soon after the inauguration for repeating a statement I'd made many times before.
Came to Lemmy and found lots of recently banned veterans. Many of us were high volume posters for over a decade, and never got banned, then suddenly we all turned into monsters that had to be permabanned in the same month.
I prefer Lemmy in many ways - no puns, fewer trolls, no bots, no Russian propaganda farmers, etc., but some of my favorite subjects are badly lacking. Reddit has several very large and active guitar subs, for instance, while Lemmy's guitar forums are small and barely used.
On the other hand, the political subs are far more radical, and allow real discussion of political options more than Reddit. They are not doing themselves a service by suppressing radical speech over there, they are only driving it underground, where it will become even more radical. When it happens they'll be surprised because they buried it instead of addressing it.

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.
