I, honestly, never used Reddit that much anyways. It's algorithms were made to keep me on the site at all costs and I never liked that.
I got perma banned because a power tripping moderator of unitedstatesofIndia had me banned.
I just like Lemmy more.
I hate reddit. Love lemmy.
I'm boycotting American products.
I only read two sub reddits via Firefox. (mostly for sports highlights / news)
I never post or interact anymore, I'm giving them zero content or engagement and always with all ad blockers / pi hole on max blast.
I was on reddit over 10 years, but once sync went I was done.
I don't think I'm banned. I left with the API Exodus. I do like Lemmy more now because of more free speech and control over what information I see
They have been banning inactive accounts, apparently some were getting hacked by trolls
Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back
Closed reddit account and loving Lemmy! Here to stay. 😀
Never have been.
Banned off r/technology for no good reason. Reddit is a doom scroll and I wanted to try something else. I still use Reddit for tech discussions as it's got a lot more users.
Dont have an account on reddit, so not banned. I do lurk from time to time though.
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.
I still have a reddit account, but I find Lemmy to be a freer space that feels less overrun by bots and power mods. It also doesn't seem to cycle through posts as fast, making it more of a discussion-forward space rather than a black hole of doomscrolling.
Never used reddit
I bailed over the whole API thing, bacon reader was reddit for me.
Now lemmy is the only social media I use, and my life is better for it.
Never been banned anywhere except Facebook.
I make a new throwaway every time I go to reddit so Idk maybe I've been banned but it's pretty dumb to ban someone who's making new accounts with proxies every time.
I've never had a Reddit account so I guess that I've never been banned, technically.
Yes
i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.
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.
Banned but also like Lemmy more.
I'm making the transition. I use both, for now.
for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.
I like lenmy more
I find it interesting that there's a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.
I just like lemmy more and the community around it just seems much more bearable. I don't constatly think I hate lemmings like I thought about redditors when I was on reddit.
Never been banned but I stopped commenting or even logging in on Reddit years ago, I always used r/all almost exclusively and they ruined that algorithm multiple times over. I could never really tell if I was talking to a bot or not when commenting either.
