I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more

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

I got a new account after my old one got banned but now I never challenge the echo chamber. I just ban/block obnoxious subs and users to avoid the temptation. I stay mainly for some interest groups there and local subs.

Saw one mod in a sub bragging about how they banned lots of users for challenging a post and they were getting cheered on. Wonder if that is in line with reddit’s policy?

I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.

I’m permanently banned from Reddit. I don’t like Lemmy nearly as much, but it’s probably just that I’m less familiar and haven’t figured it all out. Finding subs that I liked in Reddit was much easier, but there’s the obvious moderator issues with Reddit - mainly that I’m banned.

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

When Reddit changed the layout (new/old) some ten years ago, I started using a 3rd party app, because “new reddit” was everything that I hated about other sites. I stopped using it when they killed 3rd party apps, but that was really just the final nail in the coffin anyway. It was rotten to the core long before that.

Technically I’m still on it. I just stopped interacting there. Might post on some of the niche crafting subreddits sometimes in the future because I miss those on here. For everything else Lemmy is far superior. Decided to “switch over” when I found out that half of my comments and posts got shadowbanned.

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.

Both of those facts can exist at the same time. I believe I am partly banned from some Subs if only because I disagreed with the Reddit Hivemind and the Mods crazy power trips.

Lemmy is 1000% more open minded.

I find it super funny honestly, because I left Reddit because of shit moderation and a gross bias toward liberal posts in the moderation (ironic now). Then I come here to escape, which I’m realizing is a very liberal a platform, and I’m noticing that it wasn’t that it was leftist leaning, the people were just insufferable.

I routinely find things in common with people across the aisle here and the content is way more objective.

I never got perma banned, but I was silenced enough to know that it wasn’t good for my mental health to stay. Lemmy is great. I think this is a platform where people can actually just meet in the middle and talk. I got banned from Mastadon on my first day, so it was a no go.

But banana bread, at fucking work bro? HELL. YEAH.

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

I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn’t feel that strongly about it.

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

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
