~~47~~ 0 days since seeing a post from someone who still cares about Reddit for some reason.

Just like lemmy more.

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

Left when the 3rd part apps got shut down. Stayed because of quality apps and no ads.

Neither, deleted my 13+ year account.

I left in the API exodus. Never went back.

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

Not banned.. at least not that I know of. Just saw the writing on the wall after the API horseshit.

Got really close to getting permabanned, Then switched to using this. Then I started seeing people getting banned for upvoting certain content. Glad I left.

Yes

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

I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.

Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly lurking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I'm very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media

I liked reddit but came here because I'm Canadian and am trying my best to ween myself from american products and services due to the american administrations newfound disrespect for my country. Also, tariffs.

I deleted my account before the reddit exodus, when it became clear to me they were heading the way of all centralised social media

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 still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

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

Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there's less of those subtle reddit-style "generalizations" here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.

reddit was better simply because it has more people. but it's unusable without api access and alternative clients like sync and boost.

I'm not banned because I almost never post or log in reddit, but I'm still going. There are communities I didn't find here. But I try to participate more here.

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

My main and all my alts except one was banned cause I kept reporting blatant ads disguised as legitimate posts as spam. Happened around the same time they killed off 3rd party apps, so I needed a good excuse to try Lemmy anyway.

I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted. I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm. I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked.

Not banned, just no high quality free apps and I got tired of paying for Narwhal. Hydra is okay but kind of laggy for some reason. Mlem is a joy to use so it makes me want to be here more.

Neither, I still use reddit because the subreddits pertaining to my interests are still active. Lemmy is almost entirely political discussion and boomer Facebook comic strips from what I've seen, and most other boards pertaining to specific interests have low activity here. If that wasn't the case I would be using Lemmy much more.

No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution. It's just the alpha version. It's better than the prototype, but it's still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.

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.

Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.

I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'

Racist, apparently.

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.

My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I never really used Reddit, but I read an article during the API debacle in 2023 that mentioned Lemmy so I gave it a shot.

I like lemmy more. There is no real permaban on reddit btw. I’ve been “permabanned” like 20 times on there

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

I was never banned on Reddit (did get the boot from like 3 subs but that was in 10 years of redditing) — but I manually purged my account when I left.

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

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

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.
