My current Reddit account I carefully curated and built is unbanned but associated to a different email, but my primary email is actually receiving new emails as of this week that my old accounts are permabanned. That alone is not noteworthy, but over the past couple months some of my other alts have had their passwords reset at random, with emails asking me to verify. These are not phishing emails, but actually from Reddit. I think they're on to me and trying to get a confirmation, but not clicking those links so they can do their IP identification. Sociopathic, vindictive, people run Reddit apparently. Like sorry for dissenting and calling out specific employees that have bullied me, your operation is surely not corrupt. /s

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Been here since the Reddit API shutdown in July of 2023.
Same
checked my account date and yeah, pretty much.
Yes, that is why I came to Lemmy, but since I haven't used Reddit in two years and probably not thought about it much at all since then, I don't really consider Lemmy a Reddit substitute anymore. It's just Lemmy.
I'm here since the API stuff on Reddit, haven't posted a lot there, haven't posted a lot here but at least I'm not supporting Reddit through my daily use anymore. Though when I really need some information that I can only find on Reddit I'm not gonna not use it.
Am I the only one on Lemmy who isn't from Reddit
I'm kinda young, won't specify more than "teen"
I sometimes browse Reddit without an account (some more niche meme/funny subreddits), but have never had an account.
I don't actually remember how I originally heard about the fediverse. (adhd be like)
Im here from reddit after being wrongfully banned . Loving lemmy lot more
I'm sure at least 25% of us are here because all of our years old accounts were permabanned for "inciting violence" which they use as a blanket term for posts they don't like against the administration.
99% chance you were glorifying the violence against the assassinated CEO
Exactly 7 people are
I think social media should not be connected to big tech billionaries. Call me crazy. :)
The fact that Facebook is one of the largest companies still blows my mind.

I used to be here because reddit sucks, but now I'm here because lemmy is so much better. Yes, there are memes, but there is also a LOT more genuine conversations to have.
Yes here its much Better and users are actual users
I was banned on Reddit in June of 2024 for saying that I hoped that the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. I found out about lemmy at the end of last year and I’m still happy to be here.
Yay!
I'm here as an evolution from Reddit. I still use that for a web search result source if needed, but I don't really find myself wanting to go back there.
Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit to me the same way a smoked turkey and pepperjack with tomato and lettuce on lightly toasted sourdough is an alternative to a cigarette for lunch.
Now I'm hungry
Exactlly
left when reddit went public. nothing good happens when you have to answer to stockholders….
Spaz is now a billionaire, so whatever happens now is irrelevant.
I left when they fucked over 3rd party apps.
Same here. But it was just a matter of time really.
I left Reddit for good a few weeks ago when I got a 3 day autoban for directly quoting Worf from Star Trek…in response to a post asking for quotes. I think it was an autoban because a couple years previous I got an auto-warning for quoting a punk song in a punk sub…appeal rejected.
I appealed the 3 day ban…but no idea if it would have been accepted because I deleted my account and the Reddit app after 2 days when I snapped out of my Reddit addiction and finally realized how enshitified it’s become.
Appeal actually Always worked for me, i appealed Two permabans and won.
But yeah for most people are Just a waste of time
I'm here after Reddit perm banned me for no reason and ban evasion failed. I submitted a ban appeal before discovering here but now that I have, I don't think I'll go back to reddit even if I get unbanned, this place is so nice.
Yeah It Is, btw welcome here, i Hope you Will continue to be here with us :)
Thanks and yeah im liking it here so i'll probably stay
Here since deleting Reddit post history at the time of 3rd party app api. I only go back (via RedLib) for niche communities.
Used to love Reddit but the drop in quality over there is shocking, the same shit reposted ad nauseum & bots galore. Much prefer it here, though still hoping niche communities will grow & become sustainable.
A small number of communities here have got a foothold & i find them better than the Reddit equivalents dispite far fewer posts so there's hope.
Yeah reddit has a lot of reposting, wich for some things i actually like, for example shitpost wich i think Is lacking here but It Will Just drop the quality here.
Yeah here its much smaller than reddit and i like It since i think It Will happen that you encounter the same people over and over again and i find that very funny

i have been shadowbanned on my last account. so basically im here. Reddit is very pro-right wing now so any accusation or "impliying" physical violence is a instaban in some case.
unless u are planning to use a new device/ip address and a new browser theres very little chance to get back in, if you are banned.
I tried that and they STILL got me. I was also using a friend's self hosted vpn so it's not even my vpn getting flagged, i dont know how they do it
Yeah you can change your name but yeah.
Reddit Is not right Wing as like authoritian, more like liberal, dirty liberal that makes the illusioni of Freedom while you cant Say certain stuff, a Place "for all communities to live* but at the end some are more "privileged", supported or free then others
I'm here because I got perma banned for saying trump needs punched dead in his shit.
