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.

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

Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.

You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.

Still on both but I'm not actively going on Reddit anymore. Only when Lemmy World can't be reached by my Sync app (which has usually more to do with my connection than Lemmy) or when I click links from people. I've refrained from commenting there anymore and will likely wipe it soon enough, after I get around to wiping my Meta posts (can't delete my whole account since I have friends and family still using it, but I definitely want to "hollow it out" if that makes sense).

I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.

But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I like Lemmy since its mostly about Tech but even the small communities over on Reddit can be more engaging then communities over here. I am involved in Trading cards and there just not the same community over here for it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I like lemmy more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

I like Lemmy. Reddit is too corporate now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Wasn't banned. left due to Corporatism.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh man I forgot about the beans lol

I was banned off reddit doing to standing up to the r/seculartalk mod Liam and him throwing a little bitchy fit when I used my alts to warn users he was banning them for disagreeing with them. The site then banned me for circumventing his sub ban.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

[–] los_chill 5 points 3 days ago

I prefer this community.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I am the one who bans

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I'm still using both, but I'm sure with the changes in administration I'll be getting banned soon. I already got a warning for saying that self-declared kings are liable to self-declared regicide
