I stopped using reddit after i get banned for unknown reason years ago, so i move to lemmy.

Left due to the API stuff due to Apollo getting axed. Loved that Christian recorded their calls and exposed how crappy they were for blaming things on him. Fun drama, but I left and never looked back.

It’s still a bit of an echo chamber of sheep in here but I haven’t really tried different servers to find like minded ppl. I like the mod of the server I’m on and that’s cool for me for now.

Permabanned for being mean to Elon.

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month

Nope, not banned, chose to leave. Realized most of my anxiety and fear were due to Reddit's algorithm amping up my issues.

Was banned from a couple of subs for promoting Lemmy though.

At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.

I like lemmy more. There is no real permaban on reddit btw. I’ve been “permabanned” like 20 times on there

I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted. I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm. I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked.

I just joined Lemmy today. I found out about it through a piracy site of all things. If it were viable I would replace everything in my life with open-source alternatives. I'm tired of companies getting greedy and ruining the things I love.

Lemmy is my best friend now.

Already planned to leave after they cut off third party apps and finally made the move recently due to the CEO bowing for M*sk and deleting unwanted content. Was already looking at Lemmy and finally set up my instance and made the move - and it works for me.

left reddit due to nazis

Got sick of seeing the same anger farming shit every day, then found out about the luigi censorship and just left. Honestly best choice. I'm enjoying lemmy so far, and the control I have over my experience.

I left Reddit after they bent the knee to M*sk.

I deleted reddit after the CEO made shitty decisions. So only Lemmy. So far it has been a much better experience.

Reddit is banned from me.

I still have Reddit where I post to r/Vancouver and r/Worldbuilding, mainly because Lemmy doesn't really have active communities for those where new stuff gets posted every day. Once Lemmy gets large enough (which I believe it will) for those communities to become active I'll probably stop posting to Reddit. Or if they get rid of the old UI. Whichever comes first.

One word - Apollo. Reddit killed it, and I left and came to Lemmy. Much happier here with more authentic engagement, and Voyager gets the job done.

I can’t say I never go back over there, but it’s almost always for live sports threads. Those just haven’t caught on yet here, though it slowly seems to be happening.

I’m permanently IP banned from Reddit. During the time when they forced everyone off of third party apps, I posted multiple times in relevant discussions about Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives. One morning when I logged in my account had a message from Reddit admins that my account and IP address was banned and that any future accounts created would be circumventing the ban and would also be banned.

More reason to leave that site anyway.

My account is in fine standing, left because I couldnt use reddit is fun anymore and there was no way I was going to switch to their app

Yes

I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.

Lemmy is catching up on Reddit. The technical forums/c/r are not as useful yet, and not enough of the hardware suppliers monitor the/their Lemmy communities.

Once that changes over I don't need Reddit.

Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.

i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.

I prefer open and ad free options where possible, but reddit has more stuff so I'm in both places

Little of A, little of B. For the most part I'm allowed on Reddit and still even use it occasionally (gasp!), but occasionally I run into a sub I'm banned from without any reason given. I must have engaged in wrongthink or posted in a no-no sub or something, because often they're subs where I have little to no activity in the first place. Unfortunately, there's no way to get a list of all the subs you're banned from, so I don't know if it's just a few wackos or an actually significant chunk of the sight.

I never really used Reddit, but I read an article during the API debacle in 2023 that mentioned Lemmy so I gave it a shot.

Wasn't banned, just abandoned my account around 8 years ago.

I'm just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn't want to go back.

for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.

Lemmy is 99% of what Reddit used to be for me. I still use Reddit for niche stuff, but it’s a solid replacement - especially since Reddit decided we had to use their substandard interface.

I got admin banned for saying riot police should quit en masse after RvW. The thread was full of right wingers so the topmost comments were sexist as shit. Half the thread got banned.

Reddit didn’t permanently ban me, I permanently banned it. It started with Reddit killing third-party apps, but nowadays Reddit is a Nazi bar, so there’s no going back.
