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

For someone saying karma doesn't mean anything you're sure farming lots of it! Making good comments and shit worthy of upvotes! You're quite a terrible hypocrite!
Ironically (though it's hard to tell) I think their profile picture may be Hypocrites.

I just refuse to use the official mobile app. When they killed Apollo, I left. I’ll use old Reddit sometimes when on my desktop but all my mobile browsing is on Lemmy with Voyager
-
No but Reddit sucks.
-
I waited about 6 months and I'm using the same email and devices. It felt like I had a temp shadowban when I was back on but after about 2 months that seems to have gone away.
I avoid getting pulled into fights now by blocking users and subreddits that are obnoxious.

I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.
Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly stocking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I'm very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media
-
Reddit sucks, it's getting worse day after day. I'm still there, but moving to Lemmy.
-
I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

The main reason I want to be back on reddit is some repeatedly keeps claiming on of my favorite local restaurants has bland food and doesn't use enough salt. In actually though the restaurant uses a little bit too much salt.
Really want to tell them they are a moron.

Just like Lemmy more.
I do miss the ability to find conversations about any niche topic I want.
But the conversations on Lemmy are more genuine/authentic and the platform is run on principal/morals. An enshittified platform based on greed and inundated with bots could never compete.
Put another way, Reddit feels like I'm talking to the ''internet'', Lemmy feels like I'm talking to people.

This puts into words what I've been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I'm not off reddit entirely, but I've gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me

Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated
Should be prepetrated in the foreigner's land.
It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform. -
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 still read the same things I used to...there's just a red banner indicating that I'm banned, and I can't comment. Since they banned me, I'd be happy to leave entirely, if I found the same variety of content. That might be here, but I'm simply not that familiar with Lemmy and how it's set up, and have too much on my plate with other commitments to spend much time investigating, especially when I only have a few minutes to kill, and know what I want to read or see.
-
Neither, I still use reddit because the sub reddit pertaining to my interests are still active. Lemmy is almost entirely political discussion from what I've seen, and most other boards pertaining to specific interests have low activity.
Same - I'm here more for the promise of a better experience rather than the better experience itself. Still waiting for the tipping point where niche topical communities have more than 1 post every 3 days.
-
There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.

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
Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.
You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.
-
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.
Did the antiwork people secretely work? What hypocritical thing did they do? Did they produce value for somebody else? Those FUCKS!?
-
Left reddit during the API drama out of principle. I only read reddit now via 3rd party apps, I don't contribute. I spend most of my time on Lemmy. My goal is for enough niche communities to grow here that I can give up reddit entirely.
-
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.
You got banned for reporting?
