are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I got admin banned for saying riot police should quit en masse after RvW. Half the thread was banned, a bunch of right wingers joined and reported everyone while up voting racist shit
-
I’m permanently IP banned from Reddit. During the time when they forced everyone off of third party apps, I posted multiple times in relevant discussions about Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives. One morning when I logged in my account had a message from Reddit admins that my account and IP address was banned and that any future accounts created would be circumventing the ban and would also be banned.
More reason to leave that site anyway.

Not explicitly answering ops q; what brought me here was a friend who introduced the Lemmy/fediverse. And this is (imo) a better alt to Reddit. It is filled with company accounts, spammers, banned or discontinued sub-reddits..
-
I like lemmy. Fuck Spez
-
I'LL START MY OWN REDDIT!
WITH HOOKERS AND BLACKJACK! -
Neither, deleted my 13+ year account.
-
Neither.

Got really close to getting permabanned, Then switched to using this. Then I started seeing people getting banned for upvoting certain content. Glad I left.
-
Both, I'm sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don't want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway
-
I came voluntarily after the third party app debacle. I never even used a third party app, it had just gotten so ridiculous that when moderators were putting together a blackout in protest, I made the decision that's when I was leaving and never returning, so that's what I did.
-
I agree it can feel like rolling tumbleweeds, but that’s the more reason to invite real humans!
-
Never have been.
-
Same, I didn't have a 3rd party app either. When it was super apparent that it was mostly bots, I used the exit of so many people to add to it. It was the best move I could have made.
-
I'm sure you know this and have heard it, but for the newbies you have to change your order to get more content. Switch between hot, top 6 hours, top 12 hours, subscribed new and overall new. In that order for me. I rarely get to overall new because it's not addictive.

Lemmynsfw has a few sex workers, some of whom might not mind being called hookers I suppose. I'm not sure what community has blackjack.
-
One word - Apollo. Reddit killed it, and I left and came to Lemmy. Much happier here with more authentic engagement, and Voyager gets the job done.
I can’t say I never go back over there, but it’s almost always for live sports threads. Those just haven’t caught on yet here, though it slowly seems to be happening.
-
A blackjack bot wouldn’t be too hard to write.

No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution.
It's just the alpha version. It's better than the prototype, but it's still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.
