i need to know
I just use both. I don’t like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content
I didn’t wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.
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.
it doesnt get talked about enough how bad reddit is for your mental health, glad you got out 🙏
very much so! lemmy has been a godsend for me.
i knew i was too weak to avoid reddit; so i tried to get them to ban me by breaking all of the rules and they wouldn’t.
so i setup a blacklist in my own dns w an 8 hour timeout and a 30 minute window to force myself to stay away.
Reddit is banned from me.
I’LL START MY OWN REDDIT!
WITH HOOKERS AND BLACKJACK!Lemmynsfw has a few sex workers, some of whom might not mind being called hookers I suppose. I’m not sure what community has blackjack.
Edit: Yes, I’m aware that it’s a Futurama quote.
A blackjack bot wouldn’t be too hard to write.
Banning people from the internet isn’t a thing, despite the drama around it.
I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.
But obv the smartest most helpful ppl on any given topic have old reddit accounts with a lot of karma so they can post? That prob killed amas too, celebs prob didnt have enough karma to make a post
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.
same
Yes.
I think so? I used to browse the site over breakfast, and one morning, Apollo couldn’t connect. I don’t want to cause trouble by trying to log in, if I’m banned, so I have not tried to log in another way.
🤭
Still unbanned even though I blacked out /r/piracy then actively pushed our community here until the only people left in /r/piracy were the bootlickers who wanted to reopen it and continue as usual. I never go to reddit anymore except to agitate for moving to lemmy.
I have already saved subreddits I liked on bookmarks, but after so many suspensions and bans for literally stupid reasons I had enough of this cesspool which is reddit and surprisingly I feel a lot better, I think reddit takes way more than it gives to anyone, I use lemmy moderately and that’s the way things should be with anything, not sure I will ever get back on reddit again
Found Lemmy during the API protest and ditched reddit. I’ve been meaning to go back to reddit and get banned over the whole crazy censorship thing, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Yes I’m permanently fingerprint/IP banned as of last year.
I posted anti-Isreal comments on 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 there, all of my accounts were banned for ban evasion. This happened twice and then I was perma-ed.
For context I used and contributed to the site regularly since Digg without much issue or any bans
I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.
Just left during the API thing. I’ve rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it’s minutes a month if that much.
Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.
I’ve had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I’ve had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I’m still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media
