are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
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.
-
wish it wasnt so empty though, but i guess that means making a community here is way easier since people are starving for content
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.

I'LL START MY OWN REDDIT!
WITH HOOKERS AND BLACKJACK!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. -
Reddit didn’t permanently ban me, I permanently banned it. It started with Reddit killing third-party apps, but nowadays Reddit is a Nazi bar, so there’s no going back.
-
I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.
For someone saying karma doesn't mean anything you're sure farming lots of it! Making good comments and shit worthy of upvotes! You're quite a terrible hypocrite!

I haven't been on Reddit much since they banned 3rd party apps.
-
Not banned. I'm being the change I want to see.
-
Yes; yes

Just like what lemmy stands for. I still visit reddit from time to time, mostly to use it to search for real product feedback (the window for which it will be useful is limited) and for a few niche communities that lemmy just isn't big enough to get any traction with. I post very occasionally in said communities.

I just like lemmy more, I deleted my 13 year old reddit account
