how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?
-
or any other reason.. im curious.
After my fourth or fifth perma ,, I decided Reddit was probably not for me .
-
or any other reason.. im curious.
I lived through Livejournal choosing to destroy itself and saw Reddit doing the same things and worse and walked away. Choosing short term profits over people makes me NOPE out.
No bans or warnings for me. I guess I just don't type "dangerous" stuff even though I consider myself pretty opinionated. -
left reddit in 2023 during the API debacle, funnily enough it's what made me aware of other social platforms so I guess it all worked out for the better
2023 refugee reporting in. Couldn't give up the Sync life.

Me, I got banned. I still used RIF until it died just to read Reddit, but once that was over I was done.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I came hoping for more intelligent content and less middle-schoolish "I hate <whatever> and if you don't hate it enough too you're EVIL!"
Found pretty much the same level of that, but I do like the UI better.

Me, arbitrary ass ban while using an alt trying to gain karma on the front page so I could post with it, my first comment insta banned all accounts permanently because I guess I was banned from that sub on my main/og account.

Got banned for calling an antivaxxer a waste of oxygen :3
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

only time I ever reported anyone since it was so extreme

Same. The moment Apollo shut down I quit reddit and started using lemmy on the voyager (pretty much an Apollo clone for lemmy)
apollo devs making digg, but digg will prob be just as bad as reddit lol, at least im not perma banned there yet
-
can't comment re: lemmy mods because I don't mod here. but. reddit and other social networks benefit incredibly - and I have no doubt lemmy as well - from the sheer mountains of trash, spam, fuckwits and bots that assail their daily content, that mods remove and you never have to see or only see for a few minutes. please stand up and volunteer to mod if you think you could help, it's certainly needed.
Yeah ppl dont volunteer, they just assume its fine, lemm.ee was struggling for volunteers

I quit commenting at that site long ago but still lurk occaisionally in some technical sr's. It became too mean.

Me, I'm getting constantly banned from r/Europe by this moronic mods.
Banned by writing about that Germany never paid anything to Poland for holocaust of Polish citizens
I'm reading worldnews rules on Lemmy. There should be lax rules, no ban whatsoever - only for pedophilia and obvious crime like drugs, terrorism, videos of murders

Old reddit was so so useful this transition to everybody being loud with little depth of knowledge has been sad to watch.
The people who shouldn't comment or reply ro any post are the ones who immediately chime in with advice there, they've even taken to giving you ai responses like mf, I am fully capable of opening chatgpt on my own if I wanted ai responses
-
or any other reason.. im curious.
I see a lot more banned users and deleted comments on lemmy than I did on reddit.

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

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.

You're not wrong

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"
