Asklemmy

I like Lemmy more.

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

no i just like supporting competition and not giant companies

I've never been permanently banned from Reddit but I have been shadow banned before on multiple occasions because I tried stopping people from spreading misinformation. But that wasn't the main reason as there were several other reasons I left Reddit. I've been using Lemmy for about 4 years now and I have no intentions of ever going back to Reddit.

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 🫡 ”

Not banned. I deleted my account myself some time back

Was permanently banned because of "inciting violence", a.k.a. making fun of Trump and Musk with a few Luigi comments sprinkled in.

I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn't offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.

both of my accounts are still up, i just like Lemmy more

I'm boycotting American products.

Closed reddit account and loving Lemmy! Here to stay. 😀

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.

Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.

I get cyberbullyied in reddit for defend a nonbinary person in a sega dreamcast subteddit

I just like Lemmy more.

I got perma banned because a power tripping moderator of unitedstatesofIndia had me banned.

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises "looked nasty".

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can't comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there's eleventy billion versions of the same community.

I prefer this community.

Deleted my account when they killed 3rd party apps. Fuck that shithole.

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.

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

I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes

They gave me a tempory ban for bull crap so i deleted my 10+ year old account and moved here

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.

Perma-banned, and the worst part is I'm not even sure why. I logged in while away on vacation, got hit with the 'you're logging in from an usual location, please confirm with an e-mail code', and when I did that, boom, locked with no option to appeal.

I find some humor in that a robot decided I was a robot. Perhaps that will save me when the great robot uprising occurs?

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.

My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I'm in my late 10s, I'd rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.

I'm not banned on reddit, never have been. I use both daily. Lemmy to see what my fellow humans are talking about, Reddit for when I want to see what bots are talking about.

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 gotten myself banned from Reddit before, I just make a new account, I just started hating everything those neurotypicals say.

I found out about Lenny when I got fed up with “experts” giving the most brain rot advice on my field el expertise and realizing it is like that now.

Lenny has been amazing is the old internet and I really missed the old funny internet.

The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I'd never go back.

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.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn't like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.

Edit: damn it's almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride

Edit: I can't believe cm0002 copied your exact same post

Deleted my Reddit acc during the APIcalypse. Lemmy is just awesome.

Also some girl called Nicole just messaged me 😍

It's not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.

I didn't wait for a ban. Bailed out during the appocalypse.

I've never had a Reddit account so I guess that I've never been banned, technically.

I just like Lemmy more. No NFTs, or Karma meaning anything. It feels like it was plucked from an older time.
