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

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

I did that with alternate location and ip, before the pandemic. Now that I don't, I received so much more bans than beforem

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

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

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

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.

https://revanced.app/
Can be used with various Apps as it patches them

I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it

[Guest]

As I mentioned in another reply, there are ways around that limit. I was very happy when i was able to use RiF again

Perma banned from Reddit cause I compared Clarence Thomas to Stephen Candie from Django Unchained.

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

I had an account on reddit, about five years old until I finally decided to leave it because i spend an ungodly amount of time there. Knowing myself and my habit to flake on self set goals I thought out the ultimate strategy to keep me from coming back: Over a couple of weeks I intentionally posted atrocious stuff on my main and my two alt-accounts to get me permabanned and burn every single bridge.

For now it has successfully stopped me from wasting time there any longer.

I'm not sure, I think they were worthless (like, beyond respect from your peers which is naturally bs).

I think they also introduced awards which I know cost real money to buy but bizarrely were valueless to the receipient

[Guest]

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

47 0 days since seeing a post from someone who still cares about Reddit for some reason.

Temporary ban but Reddit is becoming less and less fun. Less interesting.

It’s time to move on.

[delta_v@lemmy.world]

Just like Lemmy more.

Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.

I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.

I like Lemmy more because it is more aligned with my interest, notably Tech and Linux. I also like to have smaller communities in which your interaction have impact and are being read instead of being lost in thoudands of comments.

[nahmarcas@lemmy.ml]

Im not reddit, im prefer something more clean:

[shotgun_alice@lemmy.world]

No, I still have my account but never use it anymore. After the api fiasco I came over here because I didn’t like how Reddit went about everything. I like it better here I get a bit of content and I’m done for the day, Reddit was addicting and it was made to be. Here I just check the feed until I get to yesterday stuff and I’m done for the day. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna see the same stuff just it’s just not endlessly regurgitated by bots and karma farmers. I like it better here, feels cozy compared to Reddit.
