are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I liked Reddit but I couldn't ignore what's happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.

Never used reddit

I got a perma ban from reddit. Ive said this in other comments but I’ll add it here: A mod locked a post I was looking at and said something about how the post wasn’t good (I can’t remember exactly what the mod said). I responded by telling to the mod “get lost”. I got perma banned from that subreddit. Then like 5 months later I smoked some weed and, for whatever reason, felt the need to message the mod and say “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you”. Thats when I got a phat perma ban from the admins. I made another reddit account on a vpn. All seemed well until I launched reddit with the vpn off by accident. My new account was banned shortly after this. Either way, after the first ban I was looking at alternatives. I found the lemmsters. I still have the reddit app with my perma banned account. I can browse reddit all I want but I don’t use it for anything other than porn or when I google something and a reddit link pops up where my question is being answered. There are things I miss about reddit. Primarily I miss the large chess community there. It is far more developed than the chess community on lemmy. I wish I could get the chess community going here. I don’t really miss reddit for anything else. This is evident by the fact that I could’ve been on reddit right now, but instead I prefer to browse lemmy. I really like the fediverse idea. It interests me greatly and I hope to see it grow! One thing that is exciting that I missed out on with reddit is being there from the beginning. I know lemmy/fediverse is newer so I am happy to join during the more early stages and see how the fediverse as a whole grows.

I nuked my own accounts. Fuck reddit.
-
Same here, reporting trolls and bots of right wingers, bam temp ban for report abuse. And then all my accounts except one got Nuked in February 13, finally after a comment removal from a game sub, because the mod thought my comment wasn't going along with the joke)meme of the thread, instant shadowban. After going on the shadowban sub to report my shadowban. I noticed a lot of people like me were shadow banned for no reason at all. Some were getting instantly banned for creating an account

Their app is actually more intrusive, apparently ban wise it would be easier to identify you try other evasion methods that can't be detected easily.
-
Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberishAnd motherfuckers act like they forgot about beans
-
They have been banning inactive accounts, apparently some were getting hacked by trolls
-
When reddit went public, and now they want a buyer, they are banning as much accounts as possible to look good to investors, they dint care if the bans were legitimate or not.
-
I heard on modhelp, how they were salivating over the indiscriminate banning of the filters
-
What did the karma coins actually do? Never understood that part of Reddit.
-
I did that with alternate location and ip, before the pandemic. Now that I don't, I received so much more bans than beforem
-
If you create multiple accounts they will shadowban you even. More. The best is to wait a while before creating a new one, use different devices, browsers if possible a different IP ,like a cafe or library. The more they catch, you the easier they can ban your newly created accounts faster

It's definitely gearing towards right wing alot. Especially with how many of them are pushing pro Russian talking points.
-
reddit was better simply because it has more people. but it's unusable without api access and alternative apps.
-
I deleted my own Reddit accounts after They started censoring posts and subreddits.
There was all too many fuckups in the last few years.
- The API scandal
- The wallstreetbets scandal
- Spez and Fuck Reddit
- the Antiwork community scandal
- the Luigi censorship LGBT and EDI
They have no control of that platform their hands are tied. They are sold.

No, I had a reddit account in good standing that was around a decade old, I switched to Lemmy when it became clear that Reddit was being run by the regressive conservative tech world, eventually I also deleted my reddit account as part of a purge of my online identity.
-
If you are on Android, there are ways around the API thing. I was able to get my favorite Reddit app, RiF (Reddit is Fun) to continue to work after they took away API access.
