i need to know
I deleted my own Reddit accounts after They started censoring posts and subreddits.
There was all too many fuckups in the last few years.
- The API scandal
- The wallstreetbets scandal
- Spez and Fuck Reddit
- the Antiwork community scandal
- the Luigi censorship LGBT and EDI
They have no control of that platform their hands are tied. They are sold.
reddit was better simply because it has more people. but it’s unusable without api access and alternative clients like sync and boost.
I nuked my own accounts. Fuck reddit.
No, yes
You can get banned on Reddit? I thought you can only get banned by those sweaty mods.
I got a perma ban from reddit. Ive said this in other comments but I’ll add it here: A mod locked a post I was looking at and said something about how the post wasn’t good (I can’t remember exactly what the mod said). I responded by telling to the mod “get lost”. I got perma banned from that subreddit. Then like 5 months later I smoked some weed and, for whatever reason, felt the need to message the mod and say “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you”. Thats when I got a phat perma ban from the admins. I made another reddit account on a vpn. All seemed well until I launched reddit with the vpn off by accident. My new account was banned shortly after this. Either way, after the first ban I was looking at alternatives. I found the lemmsters. I still have the reddit app with my perma banned account. I can browse reddit all I want but I don’t use it for anything other than porn or when I google something and a reddit link pops up where my question is being answered. There are things I miss about reddit. Primarily I miss the large chess community there. It is far more developed than the chess community on lemmy. I wish I could get the chess community going here. I don’t really miss reddit for anything else. This is evident by the fact that I could’ve been on reddit right now, but instead I prefer to browse lemmy. I really like the fediverse idea. It interests me greatly and I hope to see it grow! One thing that is exciting that I missed out on with reddit is being there from the beginning. I know lemmy/fediverse is newer so I am happy to join during the more early stages and see how the fediverse as a whole grows.
I liked Reddit but I couldn’t ignore what’s happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.
I just like Lemmy more
I left when RIF was disabled, 2 years ago now or close
Never used reddit
After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, “Luigi!!!” That I want to post from my main. I just can’t bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.
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.
Same here, reporting trolls and bots of right wingers, bam temp ban for report abuse. And then all my accounts except one got Nuked in February 13, finally after a comment removal from a game sub, because the mod thought my comment wasn’t going along with the joke)meme of the thread, instant shadowban. After going on the shadowban sub to report my shadowban. I noticed a lot of people like me were shadow banned for no reason at all. Some were getting instantly banned for creating an account
Both
Permanently banned for asking a really stupid question. I was having a big self-hate episode, and asked the question to affirm that I deserve something.
I just use both. I don’t like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content
