Yup, came here after the API changes that basically blocked 3rd party clients.

I called a Nazi a loser and got perm banned lol

Fuck that shithole of a website

I came here as part of my migration to #Fediverse to escape undemocratic structures. I do this step by step as I still follow some valuable subreddits. But I gradually phase out.

Yep. Came here after they banned my BDSM community.

Reddit sucks.

I have dual citizenship

Lemmy is 50% people who hate Reddit for giving the volunteer mods too much power to shape their communities, and 50% people who hate Reddit for not giving the volunteer mods enough power to shape their communities.

And no they don't get along here either.

At this point I don't view myself as a Reddit refugee and just consider myself a Lemmy user.

Ran here from the neolibs don't disappoint me

I stopped using reddit years before Lemmy became a thing. I became a redditor back when Digg was still a thing, but reddit became worse and worse, and rediquette was basically unknown and never followed when I left.
Rediquette was actually one of the things that made reddit great, unfortunately we don't have that here, but things haven't devolved as bad here as they did on reddit.

Not banned specifically, but I came here because I wanted to run some communities, but ultimately it was impossible on Reddit. All the names are taken, all the aging mod teams set in stone. You essentially have no meaningful opportunity to build anything new on there. In contrast, and especially with federation, the Fediverse is a completely different system. A fresh start - still after 2 years. And it has way better internal advertisement of communities than Reddit does.

And to be clear, on Reddit you can easily just shout into the wilderness at no-one. Big audience means you can get drowned out.

All of us. Every post here seems to be someone asking this same thing haha

I used to be on Reddit lots before the API madness, and relied on third party clients like RedReader, Slide (my favorite) and Relay. After that, I no longer visited Reddit semi-regularly, and it was just on one off occasions. I even ran the script to scramble my posts. A few years later and now I'm here.

Me lol, I basically got perm banned for jokingly saying something along the line of setting someone on fire on a Minecraft post about flint and steel, I guess Reddit mods (if they actually a human and not a bot) can't differentiate what is a real threat and what is a video game mechanic. It was like 9 months ago but despite I appeal like every day, my account never got unbanned RIP.

I wonder if anyone have any ways to use Reddit again, look as much as I love Lemmy, there are things that I can't do on Lemmy like on Reddit including things that is related to my career/job as Reddit is much larger and Lemmy is much more niche for this type of question/discussion.

I just got a sitewide ban for... posting Mar-a-lago's address.

My last permanent ban was for quoting Adam Smith In a landlord sub, it's always been pretty random what can ban you, but it seems they're hiring DOGE level morons to moderate the site now.

I've never been banned, but I've gotten a "warning" just for reporting numerous posts a person made threatening trans people.

I knew I needed to move on.

I deleted my account yesterday.
