Banned from reddit for calling violence on Musk.

Frankly, I’m not impressed with Lemmy either, especially because personal interests are just so much harder to find engagement on.

So, whatever that answer amounts to.

Just like Lemmy more. Reddit has become to enshittified for me to use it anymore, except for some niche stuff due of Reddit’s larger traffic volume.

I use both. I’ve attempted to replicate the subreddits I was subscribed to on Lemmy with very limited success. I’m not sure if I just need to subscribe to more instances or if my expectations are off.

Both. It’s actually funny. Someone posted that image of alternatives to things like Reddit and Whatsapp and Google, etc, and it had Lemmy on it. I was at the point where I was getting sick of Reddit and had one account banned already. I joined Lemmy, and a few days later my other account got banned for up voting a comment that was just the gif of Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. I had already decided I liked Lemmy more at that point, so whatever. The one thing that sucks is that I had my own little sub with a couple thousand members where I posted my writing, and people seemed to like it. I enjoyed sharing my stories with all those weirdos, and now I can’t.

Banned on some subs. Mostly just left because I saw it enshittifying.

Banned across all accounts

I said “bad bot” to a nazi apologist, and apparently that’s “violence”

It’s a shame. I had quite a cult following for my “performance art”

I used a script to delete my comment history and no longer know my password not care to recall it. I don’t log in anymore, only lurk.

During the whole API issue, I got a permanent ban from one of my favorite subs over a random and unimportant comment that included a stream of insults from the mod. It was completely unwarranted and pretty obviously was reactionary behavior by someone projecting their bad mood against the world. I sort of looked at my hands and wondered why I would ever want to spend more time on that toxic cesspool. I immediately stopped using the service entirely and moved fulltime over to Lemmy (had an account already, but I was only dabbling prior). I do miss some aspects of Reddit, but that Reddit started its painful death somewhere around Lockdown.

I prefer Lemmy. The community is way friendlier and there are 9000% fewer bots. Also I frequently deleted my reddit accounts for mental health reasons and on occasion in protest and rebuilding a reddit account to the point you can comment in most subs is so annoying. In like a year of using Lemmy on and off I’ve had more real conversations with real people than I did in thriteen years as a redditor.

No, Reddit is permanently banned from me.

I got a 7 day ban from Reddit and decided if they denied my appeal they were a lost cause. Tried blue sky, mastodon, a news app with comments, gave up on that. Then in an article about open source platforms asked if Reddit had one and someone replied Lemmy.

Yes except for niche subs. I visit reddit about once a week now instead of daily. Can’t wait for the day to come when I can leave for good.

I mostly switched to lemmy because the mobile reddit app i used finally broke after the api changes.

I refuse to use that shitty reddit app and the creator of the app i used made a lemmy app so here i am

I never used Reddit properly, Lemmy was also open source, I get no replies, no interaction on Reddit, nearly every comment and post I make on Lemmy gets someone to reply, it’s almost impossible to go back to Reddit once you get used to you always getting some form of attention

Never banned. Just moved over here after it was even more clear that they don’t have our best interests in mind. And never did.

Same for Xitter.
