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

Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there's less content so I don't scroll as much.
I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this "I had 1500 karma coins" or whatever)

12 years, 900K+ karma, Permabanned soon after the inauguration for repeating a statement I'd made many times before.
Came to Lemmy and found lots of recently banned veterans. Many of us were high volume posters for over a decade, and never got banned, then suddenly we all turned into monsters that had to be permabanned in the same month.
I prefer Lemmy in many ways - no puns, fewer trolls, no bots, no Russian propaganda farmers, etc., but some of my favorite subjects are badly lacking. Reddit has several very large and active guitar subs, for instance, while Lemmy's guitar forums are small and barely used.
On the other hand, the political subs are far more radical, and allow real discussion of political options more than Reddit. They are not doing themselves a service by suppressing radical speech over there, they are only driving it underground, where it will become even more radical. When it happens they'll be surprised because they buried it instead of addressing it.

A lot of that had to be karma farming

I just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content

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.

After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.

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

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.

You can get banned on Reddit? I thought you can only get banned by those sweaty mods.

wrote 4 days ago last edited bySame 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.
wrote 4 days ago last edited byTheir 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.
