I got permabanned from the CasualUK sub for insulting boomers. In a response to the query of the word being a slur, as one person on Twitter felt picked on, I said the ones that act like the stereotype (aka self-absorbed, demeaning others) deserve the nickname the stereotype was given. I was banned for 'identity-based hate' despite the fact that being an asshole to anyone younger than you is not an identity.
I also got banned from GirlGamers for questioning the authorities, which made me realise that some mods really are pricks who rule the subs by removing people that they don't agree with, and I decided that I didn't want to reside in a site where moderators are borderline fascist, no matter how wholesome the other users are.
Someone asked if it's worth avoiding media because you don't agree with the creator. I voiced my opinion, saying that I don't think so, as long as the media makes you happy. I referred to a few examples, including "my love for the Wizarding World, despite its creator being rather toxic". This got removed for 'mentioning Hogwarts Legacy'. I reposted the comment with "(not the game, the whole franchise, power tripping mods!)" which resulted in a three day ban. I contacted the mod team, and they said I cannot question them and blocked me for thirty days, as if that wins the disagreement.
This kind of leadership, and the controversy over Reddit becoming a walled garden of censorship and run like a corporate cash cow, ended my support.

An absolute fuckton of services use AWS somewhere down the line, it's not that simple to avoid it unfortunately.

The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I'd never go back.

Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there's less of those subtle reddit-style "generalizations" here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.

My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I'm in my late 10s, I'd rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.

I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes
wrote 21 days ago last edited byI also left during that period. Third party apps were and are a lot better. Fuck spez.

Mix of both.
I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".
But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

I've never had a Reddit account so I guess that I've never been banned, technically.

I'm not banned on reddit, never have been. I use both daily. Lemmy to see what my fellow humans are talking about, Reddit for when I want to see what bots are talking about.

Perma-banned, and the worst part is I'm not even sure why. I logged in while away on vacation, got hit with the 'you're logging in from an usual location, please confirm with an e-mail code', and when I did that, boom, locked with no option to appeal.
I find some humor in that a robot decided I was a robot. Perhaps that will save me when the great robot uprising occurs?

Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.

I was never banned on Reddit (did get the boot from like 3 subs but that was in 10 years of redditing) — but I manually purged my account when I left.
