are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

I don't get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.

I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.

I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.

Not banned, was never active. Just lurked on certain subreddits. I've engaged way more here than I ever did there

I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.
I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.

I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see

banned
decided to finally try the alternative
So far, mostly better, though I did come across one batch of people that are as dumb as the average redditor

no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn't going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don't need reddit.

My modem doesn't get a new external IP on reboot, either. None of mine ever have, that I can recall

Yep.
discover I'm banned from a sub, given no notice of the ban, broke no rules
message mods to ask why, receive no response
ok, whatever, I'll just use another account to continue participating but be damn sure I only have positive comments from now on
permabanned for ban evasion

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.wrote 8 days ago last edited byI tried to stop using it when they got rid of third-party apps, but there were just too many communities that were active and had the content that I wanted. Lots of DIY and hobby stuff.
And then of course, somebody has to call people out when they're spewing out racist shit or talking bullshit.
