how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?
-
Lol I rememebr reporting some ppl telling ppl to kill themselves post trump getting elected, like they were sucidal and the trumpies were encouraging it, reported them and got like a 3 day temp ban for abusing the report system
I also reported a person like that, fortunately it was them that got banned, only for 1 week tho. Well, I hope that turned pernament bc I’m 100% sure she tried to come back

or any other reason.. im curious.
Got a few accounts banned there. It became for increasingly ridiculous reasons over time, so I decided after getting perma-banned for saying I hope trump strokes out from some condition he was said to have (blood pooling in his cankles), I decided the catering to the Maga pigs was too much - apparently saying you hope someone's condition worsens is "violence" now. Another was banned from a local subreddit for throwing out the idea of removing valve cores from the tires of ICE vehicles to slow them down. Insane. Done with that horseshit, the censorship has become out of fucking control there.

Left around the API drama times. I still visit, but haven't posted anything for two years.
My only regret is that I still haven't defaced my profile over there - I'm looking for ways to save my data and somehow link it to the original posts/comments, because besides the shitposting, I've posted some things that could be useful to myself too.

Got banned for calling an antivaxxer a waste of oxygen :3
You're not wrong
-
or any other reason.. im curious.
Took away my subreddits that I created with cumulative 200k+ subscribers and perma-banned me for a fake reason (using alternate account to evade subreddit ban).
Never again.

Call it whatever you please, I call it "Reddit is pro-Nazi"
wrote last edited by [email protected]Given that the US is a fascist state at the moment and that Reddit is an American media company that has to navigate in that country where propaganda and free speech suppression is so present that seems to be a given.

Same. Reddit without Relay isn't worth it
RiF here, but agreed. (Now Voyager)

Jumped ship when that API shit started. I like this communities way more than a lot ob subreddits that have been around before.

Yeah ppl dont volunteer, they just assume its fine, lemm.ee was struggling for volunteers
yeah it's a lot easier to bitch about 'power tripping mods' and whine about their work than it is to deal with the csam and other garbage the chuds try to post. but you either care enough to chip in or you don't.

They are humans and humans are biased.
I just got banned from another instance.
Vile personal attacks against me were left up, while lukewarm comments from me like: "Frace is a vasal state" got removed.
.world is not much better.Frace
those filthy fracemen.

Farewell Apollo (the API fiasco), and thank you Voyager (my lemmy app)

I got banned too many times for telling people to punch Nazis. Eventually I was permad. Haven't really tried to circumvent it much because why would I want to use a platform that vehemently protects Nazis?

I got banned while on a work trip to the United States. I hadn't posted at the time for more than a year.
I requested my post history from them and posted it up publicly to see if anyone could figure out why, I've still got no idea.
There's a link to my post history in a previous winge about it https://lemmy.nz/post/2224688/2959801.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Came here after my niche small Reddit client got officially shut down. When the API changes were announced, I knew that I’d rather switch than use their official Reddit client. I didn’t like that they charge AI companies for accessing my data and I don’t get any share of their profit neither. Here on Lemmy everyone can train their AI models on our data but at least there’s no random dude (spez) who profits off that.
The decentralization meaning that I can choose some random small instance and not be bound to the admins of any big one was another big point for Lemmy

My first account was on .ml roughly 5 years back, when it was basically the only instance. I had heard about there being a FOSS alternative to Reddit - but I quickly lost interest because the community was just too small back then. Re-activated my account when the API exodus happened, because there was finally a community large enough to provide a lived-in feeling. Have only gotten more dedicated to the Fediverse ever since.

exactly why I came here. I was hardly using Reddit anymore as it was because it felt off. it still does feel off when I go back to visit, a lot of the posts are formatted in a very machine like way. when I found out about that r/changemyview AI comments thing I knew I wasn't crazy for thinking this.
-
Left because of Apollo shutting down. Thanks, Voyager devs, for recreating that experience on a different platform. :-]
Amen, brother. Voyager helps scratch that old Apollo itch.

Frace
those filthy fracemen.
Frac all of them

Banned twice. They don't much like when I call for throwing bricks at cops.

I'm just making a comeback after some time. Reddit is dead, there is bots and ads and AI everywhere.
