are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
-
I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I'm realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I'm noticing that it wasn't that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.
I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.
I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn't good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.
But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.
It's definitely gearing towards right wing alot. Especially with how many of them are pushing pro Russian talking points.

reddit was better simply because it has more people. but it's unusable without api access and alternative apps.

I deleted my own Reddit accounts after They started censoring posts and subreddits.
There was all too many fuckups in the last few years.
- The API scandal
- The wallstreetbets scandal
- Spez and Fuck Reddit
- the Antiwork community scandal
- the Luigi censorship LGBT and EDI
They have no control of that platform their hands are tied. They are sold.

No, I had a reddit account in good standing that was around a decade old, I switched to Lemmy when it became clear that Reddit was being run by the regressive conservative tech world, eventually I also deleted my reddit account as part of a purge of my online identity.

If you are on Android, there are ways around the API thing. I was able to get my favorite Reddit app, RiF (Reddit is Fun) to continue to work after they took away API access.

Can be used with various Apps as it patches them -
Perma banned from Reddit cause I compared Clarence Thomas to Stephen Candie from Django Unchained.

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

I had an account on reddit, about five years old until I finally decided to leave it because i spend an ungodly amount of time there. Knowing myself and my habit to flake on self set goals I thought out the ultimate strategy to keep me from coming back: Over a couple of weeks I intentionally posted atrocious stuff on my main and my two alt-accounts to get me permabanned and burn every single bridge.
For now it has successfully stopped me from wasting time there any longer.

What did the karma coins actually do? Never understood that part of Reddit.
I'm not sure, I think they were worthless (like, beyond respect from your peers which is naturally bs).
I think they also introduced awards which I know cost real money to buy but bizarrely were valueless to the receipient

470 days since seeing a post from someone who still cares about Reddit for some reason. -
Temporary ban but Reddit is becoming less and less fun. Less interesting.
It’s time to move on.
-
Just like Lemmy more.
Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.
I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.
-
I like Lemmy more because it is more aligned with my interest, notably Tech and Linux. I also like to have smaller communities in which your interaction have impact and are being read instead of being lost in thoudands of comments.

No, I still have my account but never use it anymore. After the api fiasco I came over here because I didn’t like how Reddit went about everything. I like it better here I get a bit of content and I’m done for the day, Reddit was addicting and it was made to be. Here I just check the feed until I get to yesterday stuff and I’m done for the day. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna see the same stuff just it’s just not endlessly regurgitated by bots and karma farmers. I like it better here, feels cozy compared to Reddit.

I liked reddit but came here because I'm Canadian and am trying my best to ween myself from american products and services due to the american administrations newfound disrespect for my country. Also, tariffs.

Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven't even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it's way less likely I'll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!
