are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I want to use Lemmy more but the content just isn’t enough yet especially on niche topics and hobbies. I do try to come here for the “front page” over Reddit, since those posts on Reddit get so many replies you ain’t reading them all anyways.
But when it’s time to talk World of Warcraft, for example, Lemmy is mostly dead.
Basically, this is the same for me as well. I like Lemmy but there’s just not enough content yet and that’s OK but until then I’m gonna naturally gravitate to other social media until more staff is able to transition over. Half of the post seems to be reddit reposts.

Reddit had its advantages but when they forced everyone to have r/all as a default sub I feel like the content really started going downhill and all the subs started becoming the same. Then when the API thing happened I realized it wasn't going to get better, they were determined to become Facebook.

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month
-
Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.
-
I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.
-
Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't
Permabanned for inciting violence but I was talking about child molesters so fuck them.
-
I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.
-
I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.
-
I didn't wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.
-
I am the one who bans

I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes

I got permabanned from the CasualUK sub for insulting boomers. In a response to the query of the word being a slur, as one person on Twitter felt picked on, I said the ones that act like the stereotype (aka self-absorbed, demeaning others) deserve the nickname the stereotype was given. I was banned for 'identity-based hate' despite the fact that being an asshole to anyone younger than you is not an identity.
I also got banned from GirlGamers for questioning the authorities, which made me realise that some mods really are pricks who rule the subs by removing people that they don't agree with, and I decided that I didn't want to reside in a site where moderators are borderline fascist, no matter how wholesome the other users are.
Someone asked if it's worth avoiding media because you don't agree with the creator. I voiced my opinion, saying that I don't think so, as long as the media makes you happy. I referred to a few examples, including "my love for the Wizarding World, despite its creator being rather toxic". This got removed for 'mentioning Hogwarts Legacy'. I reposted the comment with "(not the game, the whole franchise, power tripping mods!)" which resulted in a three day ban. I contacted the mod team, and they said I cannot question them and blocked me for thirty days, as if that wins the disagreement.
This kind of leadership, and the controversy over Reddit becoming a walled garden of censorship and run like a corporate cash cow, ended my support.

An absolute fuckton of services use AWS somewhere down the line, it's not that simple to avoid it unfortunately.
-
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.
