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

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.
You got banned for reporting?

I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.
But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.

I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.
I overwrote my posts and comments on my 50k-karma account with links to Lemmy during the API protest and left. I have the contents saved and respond to people who ask for it (on Lemmy of course). Still, my Contributor Quality Score remains "High" (tier 4/5) to this day.

I still read the same things I used to...there's just a red banner indicating that I'm banned, and I can't comment. Since they banned me, I'd be happy to leave entirely, if I found the same variety of content. That might be here, but I'm simply not that familiar with Lemmy and how it's set up, and have too much on my plate with other commitments to spend much time investigating, especially when I only have a few minutes to kill, and know what I want to read or see.
Lemmy has much less content at this point because there are only a fraction of the people, but I think it has correspondingly fewer assholes.

I just refuse to use the official mobile app. When they killed Apollo, I left. I’ll use old Reddit sometimes when on my desktop but all my mobile browsing is on Lemmy with Voyager
I use "Yesterday for old reddit" for a rough Apollo-like experience on iOS devices. That being said, i'm gradually shifting away from reddit as i find more communities on lemmy.

I go on reddit every now and again, but the Lemmy experience is better.
-
Left during the APIcalypse, largely only go back to help guide people to the fire exits.

Oh! I use something somewhat similar for when I do need to browse Reddit on mobile. It’s called Sink It for Reddit . It doesn’t affect old Reddit so much but makes the mobile site bearable

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.

Can be used with various Apps as it patches themthat is interesting I may look into that thank you

I only read two sub reddits via Firefox. (mostly for sports highlights / news)
I never post or interact anymore, I'm giving them zero content or engagement and always with all ad blockers / pi hole on max blast.
I was on reddit over 10 years, but once sync went I was done.
-
Left on the API troubles went back once or twice for warframe and other small comunities but been liking here much better. I engage with people in here. It doesn't feel like screaming into the void.
-
I started winding down when Alexis Ohanian fired the AMA subreddit's organizer; lied to her face; and blamed Ellen Pao (CEO at the time).
I started going there only when desperate after the API scandal.
The only thing that I miss is the ability to see just the subreddits I specify in the url (i.e. r/news+technology+worldnews+etc+etc) -
Did the antiwork people secretely work? What hypocritical thing did they do? Did they produce value for somebody else? Those FUCKS!?

I like lenmy more

Lol at the beginning of time it was a great community that raised a lot of awareness about the current relationship of society and work. It totally imploded from within as soon as it started to get traction on media and going to Reddit front pages.
Probably a psyops by big business to kill this in the egg it turns into a strike like movement that increase wagie expenditures
-
The main reason I want to be back on reddit is some repeatedly keeps claiming on of my favorite local restaurants has bland food and doesn't use enough salt. In actually though the restaurant uses a little bit too much salt.
Really want to tell them they are a moron.
I bet they have a bad sense of taste. Probably complain at every restaurant.

Never been banned from anywhere nor do I intend to. I never made a Reddit account because of that scandal where a really talented artist got banned because the mods thought their art was AI generated even though the artist kept proving it wasn't.
I decided to join social media early last year and I remember Lemmy was on one of the lists, so I joined it and have been having a great time ever since!
