Asklemmy

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.

I left in the API exodus. Never went back.

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.

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

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

Neither, deleted my 13+ year account.

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

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.

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

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

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.

Yes

Just like lemmy 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.

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

I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

Just left during the API thing. I've rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it's minutes a month if that much.

Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month

I just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content

At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.

Lemmy is my best friend now.

Banning people from the internet isn't a thing, despite the drama around it.

just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app

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’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.

I like lemmy more.

Both

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.
