MODERATORS
I hate reddit. Love lemmy.
I find it interesting that there's a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.
I got perma banned because a power tripping moderator of unitedstatesofIndia had me banned.
Banned off r/technology for no good reason. Reddit is a doom scroll and I wanted to try something else. I still use Reddit for tech discussions as it's got a lot more users.
I still have a reddit account, but I find Lemmy to be a freer space that feels less overrun by bots and power mods. It also doesn't seem to cycle through posts as fast, making it more of a discussion-forward space rather than a black hole of doomscrolling.
Dont have an account on reddit, so not banned. I do lurk from time to time though.
I bailed over the whole API thing, bacon reader was reddit for me.
Now lemmy is the only social media I use, and my life is better for it.
Never been banned anywhere except Facebook.
I make a new throwaway every time I go to reddit so Idk maybe I've been banned but it's pretty dumb to ban someone who's making new accounts with proxies every time.
I've never had a Reddit account so I guess that I've never been banned, technically.
Never used reddit
Closed reddit account and loving Lemmy! Here to stay. π
I, honestly, never used Reddit that much anyways. It's algorithms were made to keep me on the site at all costs and I never liked that.
There are some topic I go back to reddit for. But mostly lemmy set to view all.
I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for βReddit alternativesβ after they were banned.
Yes
i banned my subconcious thoughts as if pre-deporting them.
Banned. Itβs been 4 years. Itβs nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.
for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.
Banned but also like Lemmy more.
I left during the first mass exodus. I miss the large active communities and the wealth of knowledge.
But I don't eat meat, I don't wear name brand clothing, I don't give evil corporations any more money to than is absolutely necessary (we all need gasoline), and I DON'T GO BACK TO REDDIT.
Never have been.
I'm making the transition. I use both, for now.
I just like lemmy more and the community around it just seems much more bearable. I don't constatly think I hate lemmings like I thought about redditors when I was on reddit.
I only read two sub reddits via Firefox. (mostly for sports highlights / news)
I never post or interact anymore, I'm giving them zero content or engagement and always with all ad blockers / pi hole on max blast.
I was on reddit over 10 years, but once sync went I was done.
