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

I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I'm realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I'm noticing that it wasn't that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.
I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.
I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn't good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.
But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.

I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more
-
I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.

Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.

Same; haven't looked at reddit since I came here (other than the occasional search engine question where a reddit thread has the info)
-
I've just deleted my Reddit account, to switch entirly to Lemmy. No ban or something, i just don't want to use social media from the US anymore.

On average I think I end up spending more time on reddit, but I contribute to and like this community a lot more.

I don't get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.
They ip ban you if you do that because they consider it ban evasion I believe

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That's how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don't have a static IP address.

Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I've engaged way more here than I ever did there

I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.
I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.

You don't, you wait it out.

Well I’m queer, and apparently the ceo is MAGAt
