I like Lemmy more.

I got a bullshit warning about harassment on a 5 day old post that said "Don't be a jerk to people you don't know and you won't have that problem" Appealed it and got told it it was harassment.
Fuck reddit.
I'm slowly going through my posting history and editing anything useful to the AI training to be nonsense.

I just joined Lemmy today. I found out about it through a piracy site of all things. If it were viable I would replace everything in my life with open-source alternatives. I'm tired of companies getting greedy and ruining the things I love.

It's not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

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.

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

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I get cyberbullyied in reddit for defend a nonbinary person in a sega dreamcast subteddit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Was permanently banned because of "inciting violence", a.k.a. making fun of Trump and Musk with a few Luigi comments sprinkled in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah I still use Old Reddit when I go there.

I'm not angry when I use lemmy. So, I like it here.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, I suggested a violent act that foreigners perpretated Should be prepetrated in the foreigner's land. It included the incineration of 3 persons in a car from an aerial weapon platform.

Deleted my account when they killed 3rd party apps. Fuck that shithole.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 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] 3 points 1 day ago

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 2 days ago

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] 13 points 2 days ago

I didn't wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I left with the API issues. As far as I know my account is still in good standing.

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] 15 points 2 days ago

Lemmy more.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

One word - Apollo. Reddit killed it, and I left and came to Lemmy. Much happier here with more authentic engagement, and Voyager gets the job done.

I can’t say I never go back over there, but it’s almost always for live sports threads. Those just haven’t caught on yet here, though it slowly seems to be happening.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

I’m permanently IP banned from Reddit. During the time when they forced everyone off of third party apps, I posted multiple times in relevant discussions about Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives. One morning when I logged in my account had a message from Reddit admins that my account and IP address was banned and that any future accounts created would be circumventing the ban and would also be banned.

More reason to leave that site anyway.
