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

I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.
-
Yeah that would great

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.
-
I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see
-
no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn't going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don't need reddit.
-
They'll still identify your device with many other data points available to them. Or at least they seem to be with me, even with VPNs and alternate browsers.
My modem doesn't get a new external IP on reboot, either. None of mine ever have, that I can recall
-
Yep.
discover I'm banned from a sub, given no notice of the ban, broke no rules
message mods to ask why, receive no response
ok, whatever, I'll just use another account to continue participating but be damn sure I only have positive comments from now on
permabanned for ban evasion
-
I tried to stop using it when they got rid of third-party apps, but there were just too many communities that were active and had the content that I wanted. Lots of DIY and hobby stuff.
And then of course, somebody has to call people out when they're spewing out racist shit or talking bullshit.
-
Lemmy has good apps. Reddit does not. Easy as.
-
Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome
