are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I've been banned for saying pro luigi or similar stuff, but since I am not attached to my account I just make a new one. The most annoying part of getting banned is just resubbing to your preferred subreddits. I prefer lemmy now days anyway and it is nice to see familiar usernames now and then and I don't get as annoyed seeing constant liberalism. I still use Reddit for some things like really niche subjects, questions, or hobbies and people can be genuinely helpful in some subreddits ngl.
I also find the moderation here to be much fairer and more protective of vulnerable groups.

I got a bullshit warning about harassment on a 5 day old post that said
"Don't be a jerk to people you don't know and you won't have that problem"
Appealed it and got told it it was harassment.
Fuck reddit.
I'm slowly going through my posting history and editing anything useful to the AI training to be nonsense. -
Just left during the API thing. I've rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it's minutes a month if that much.
Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.

No, but I'm banned from:
- r/republican for asking if they have ever heard about besieged fortress syndrome
- r/twoXchromosomes for telling a mod that she's bullying a person who disagreed with her in a discussion about abuse.
- r/menslib for writing that being a victim is not an excuse in a thread about a 20-something yo woman grooming young girls into porn (she herself too was groomed).
- some political ones for "hate speech against Russians" - for cursing them and their invasion of Ukraine.

I have already saved subreddits I liked on bookmarks, but after so many suspensions and bans for literally stupid reasons I had enough of this cesspool which is reddit and surprisingly I feel a lot better, I think reddit takes way more than it gives to anyone, I use lemmy moderately and that's the way things should be with anything, not sure I will ever get back on reddit again
-
I think so? I used to browse the site over breakfast, and one morning, Apollo couldn't connect. I don't want to cause trouble by trying to log in, if I'm banned, so I have not tried to log in another way.

RedReader is an option.

I am banned from worldnews because I called Israel an ethno-centric kapo state.
-
Yes I'm permanently fingerprint/IP banned.
I posted anti-Isreal confrontational comments one of the largest default subreddits, which perma banned me. Whenever I browsed through the front page and commented in that subreddit on my other accounts because I forgot I was banned, all of my accounts were banned for ban evasion. This happened twice and then I was perma-ed.
For context I used the site regularly since Digg without much issue
-
I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.
-
Found Lemmy during the API protest and ditched reddit. I've been meaning to go back to reddit and get banned over the whole crazy censorship thing, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
-
Modified boost too.
-
Those are valid critiques, i am just having a hard time figuring out the solution.

When Reddit changed the layout (new/old) some ten years ago, I started using a 3rd party app, because "new reddit" was everything that I hated about other sites.
I stopped using it when they killed 3rd party apps, but that was really just the final nail in the coffin anyway. It was rotten to the core long before that. -
Both of those facts can exist at the same time.
I believe I am partly banned from some Subs if only because I disagreed with the Reddit Hivemind and the Mods crazy power trips.Lemmy is 1000% more open minded.
-
Technically I’m still on it. I just stopped interacting there. Might post on some of the niche crafting subreddits sometimes in the future because I miss those on here. For everything else Lemmy is far superior. Decided to “switch over” when I found out that half of my comments and posts got shadowbanned.
-
I'm permanently banned from Reddit. I don't like Lemmy nearly as much, but it's probably just that I'm less familiar and haven't figured it all out. Finding subs that I liked in Reddit was much easier, but there's the obvious issue with Reddit - mainly that I'm banned.
-
I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.
