I’m banned on enough accounts they auto ban me when I make new ones. I went off the rails on a lot of political topics. I never threatened anyone, but I did wish them unspecified harms, use the words of naughtiness, and made myself a target of a few pro Trump mods and that was it. Anyway, I’m fine here, I also didn’t start using this until years after the ban so, not very related.

I left briefly to go on Kbin.social first, but went back to Reddit when the instance got flooded with spam and then started to go down more often than not. I had fun customizing how my communities/magazines looked when I was on there.
After the stupid decisions like making upvotes bannable which have worse implications longterm, I went back to the Fediverse. I decided just change instances if shit hits the fan instead of allowing myself to get back into Reddit. It sucks because I’ve used Reddit since around 2010. That being said, Lemmy feels more like how Reddit used to when I started using it.
Not banned. I think it’s great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.
Just trying it out. Not yet banned anywhere
I have banned myself from Reddit.
Not banned. I chose Lemmy because I’m a big believer in the ideas of the fediverse and I want it to succeed.
I do still have to use Reddit occasionally to look up info that hasn’t made it here yet, but I don’t post or comment there.
So I received a 1 week ban from the JusticeServed sub because I made a comment shitting on Elon Musk in r/joerogan from r/popular. Yeah these people will auto ban you from their sub if you comment in r/joerogan if you’re not even subscribed to either subs, I guess it’s some bot they have for that. When I messaged the mods telling them that’s just lame, the admins banned me from Reddit for 7 days and then I understood that Reddit isn’t a place where actual discussion is allowed to take place. I also like how Lemmy doesn’t entice doomscrolling as much as Reddit since (for now at least) it’s slower with updating content and honestly I spent way too much time on Reddit anyway. Also I like open source stuff so there’s that.
i banned from the same sub too, yea crossbanning occurs if controversial subs are commented on. jrogan sub doesnt even support the dude. i suspect alot of these “law related” subs are owned LEOs.
Reddit Refugee. Thanks!
I left after the API price hike.
Same. And it didn’t impact me directly but clearly demonstrated the value of a distributed platform.
Boycotting US stuff
Just Yeah. I canceled my Amazon subscription yesterday. I should have do so long time ago.
reddit is banned in my country (ofc VPN will bypass it) but why bother use more effort if i got something legally available?
Banned. Lol.
I was a bit passionate in my support for Luigi so it wasn’t an unfair ban unless you count the fact that it’s unfair to be punished for supporting violence against dealers in death.
I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.
i heard its significantly harder to become a mod, or make a sub now, now that even regular accounts are getting ban after its made.
That is one of the things that makes lemmy unique - if you want to, you can spin up your own instance and make a community. It can even be the same name!
I am all in on decentralized social media at this point. I really dislike the ads, astroturfing, and fake accounts meant to boost brands.
Fuck reddit, I left as soon as I could and deleted my accounts.
