are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I'd never go back.
-
Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there's less of those subtle reddit-style "generalizations" here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.

I also left during that period. Third party apps were and are a lot better. Fuck spez.
-
Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.
-
Mix of both.
I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".
But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

Who tf would defend FGM, are they Muslim? I'm pretty sure only Muslims do that see degenerate shit, Egypt (a Muslim country) has 95%, and their excuse for doing objectively harmful is so weird, they say it is so women don't enjoy sex and don't seek it

I get cyberbullyied in reddit for defend a nonbinary person in a sega dreamcast subteddit
-
I prefer this community.
-
Im banned. But I like it here now!

Perma-banned, and the worst part is I'm not even sure why. I logged in while away on vacation, got hit with the 'you're logging in from an usual location, please confirm with an e-mail code', and when I did that, boom, locked with no option to appeal.
I find some humor in that a robot decided I was a robot. Perhaps that will save me when the great robot uprising occurs?
-
Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.
-
I was never banned on Reddit (did get the boot from like 3 subs but that was in 10 years of redditing) — but I manually purged my account when I left.

Fuck /u/spez
