are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I hate reddit. Love lemmy.
-
I like lemmy more.
-
My main and all my alts except one was banned cause I kept reporting blatant ads disguised as legitimate posts as spam. Happened around the same time they killed off 3rd party apps, so I needed a good excuse to try Lemmy anyway.
-
Permanently banned for asking a really stupid question. I was having a big self-hate episode, and asked the question to affirm that I deserve something.

I liked Reddit but I couldn't ignore what's happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.

Never used reddit

I got a perma ban from reddit. Ive said this in other comments but I’ll add it here: A mod locked a post I was looking at and said something about how the post wasn’t good (I can’t remember exactly what the mod said). I responded by telling to the mod “get lost”. I got perma banned from that subreddit. Then like 5 months later I smoked some weed and, for whatever reason, felt the need to message the mod and say “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you”. Thats when I got a phat perma ban from the admins. I made another reddit account on a vpn. All seemed well until I launched reddit with the vpn off by accident. My new account was banned shortly after this. Either way, after the first ban I was looking at alternatives. I found the lemmsters. I still have the reddit app with my perma banned account. I can browse reddit all I want but I don’t use it for anything other than porn or when I google something and a reddit link pops up where my question is being answered. There are things I miss about reddit. Primarily I miss the large chess community there. It is far more developed than the chess community on lemmy. I wish I could get the chess community going here. I don’t really miss reddit for anything else. This is evident by the fact that I could’ve been on reddit right now, but instead I prefer to browse lemmy. I really like the fediverse idea. It interests me greatly and I hope to see it grow! One thing that is exciting that I missed out on with reddit is being there from the beginning. I know lemmy/fediverse is newer so I am happy to join during the more early stages and see how the fediverse as a whole grows.

I nuked my own accounts. Fuck reddit.

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.

Same here, reporting trolls and bots of right wingers, bam temp ban for report abuse. And then all my accounts except one got Nuked in February 13, finally after a comment removal from a game sub, because the mod thought my comment wasn't going along with the joke)meme of the thread, instant shadowban. After going on the shadowban sub to report my shadowban. I noticed a lot of people like me were shadow banned for no reason at all. Some were getting instantly banned for creating an account

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.
Their app is actually more intrusive, apparently ban wise it would be easier to identify you try other evasion methods that can't be detected easily.

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberishAnd motherfuckers act like they forgot about beans

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
They have been banning inactive accounts, apparently some were getting hacked by trolls
