Ask Lemmy

I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.

I'm on mbin mostly. The japan-focused subreddits for legal, finance, etc. have so far refused to move. Once they move, I will be done with reddit entirely

My main and my alt still exist on reddit and have enough karma that I was offered stock options on both accounts.

Not going back because of the API fuckery. Coming up on 2 years on lemmy. Haven't looked back.

I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there... I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.

Lemmy is just so much better quality.

I left Reddit on principle.
I still have functioning accounts over there.

The only time i go there is if I'm linked there when searching for info.

Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲

My opinions on a certain orange thing were a bit top radical for ol reddit.. but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.

I got perma banned for saying that Elon Musk should get "burned" in Canada for fraudulent sales numbers posted by Tesla in order to qualify for Federal subsidies.

They took me literally, and claimed I was promoting violence. My appeal got shut down in less than an hour. They "burned" my 8 year old account, for saying that Elon should get "burned" in Canada. The irony is real.

I'm just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn't want to go back.

I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don't want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I'd look back at what I've posted and commented more often, but I haven't much at all.

Reddit has been getting worse and eventually they just stopped showing people my comments so I deleted my account. Pretty much the next day the warnings for upvotes started coming in.

I just like Lemmy more.

I left during the API kerfuffle even though I didn't use an app. I had been thinking about getting off of it for some time prior to that because I realized doomscrolling was negatively affecting my mental health. So I followed the refugees from /r/DaystromInstitute to startrek.website.

I had been though it all, having joined about a year after the site first launched. I have witnessed multiple evolutions of the broader community and management. I could no longer support what I knew was coming next, so I bailed after 17 years due to the API fiasco.

Now I visit only by chance on searches and RSS subscriptions to a couple super niche subreddits that are more likely to disappear than migrate anywhere else.

I've still got an account. But I jumped over during the API debacle. I'm sure if I stayed I would have been banned for commenting on the Luigi situation, or calling Musk and Trump out for the dimwitted little Nazi fucks they are.

But I'm here! A proud little lemming just feeling blessed AF to be here with all you nerds!

I nuked my 11 year old account when I moved here.

Wave of the future!

I like lemmy more and decided to get my accounts banned in reddit after I started using lemmy.

I'm not banned, I was banned in r/Korea for posting a link to my own peertube instance but nowhere else.

I just don't feel that me trying to make some rich guy even more rich makes a lot of sense when they behave so shitty to us.

I over-wrote and then deleted my nearly 20 years of posts/comments and then deleted my account.

Lemmy is a much nicer environment overall, so i moved here

Left due to the crowd amassed for my country's sub. I became friend with a few regulars there when the sub is small, but these day they're significantly more and more people with a lack of common sense and logical thinking gathered there it's hard to find new friend, to the point the friends i met just decided to lurk or quit. No more fun.

Then API fiasco happened and since i hate the official app so much as it's significantly slower with horrible UI, it's a final push for me to make the jump.

I wouldn't say i like lemmy more, but it's the one i tolerate now. If the main dev became unbearable then i jump again.

I came here during the API thing then went back because it’s quiet here. Then I came back because I got into selfhosting and now I’m more dug in.

Idk why I would get banned from Reddit

I left Reddit because the algorithm really wanted me to be angry and afraid.

The world is a shitty enough place. I don’t need the advertisers stressing me out even more.

Never been on Reddit. I tried Masto as a Twitter alternative, figured Masto is a bad Twitter alternative but found this. It doesn't feel much like Reddit, but it does feel like old 90s forums, which I consider a feature, not a bug.

I was briefly perma banned but it was bullshit so it was lifted on appeal, but it was wake up call. Reddit admins are getting kinda fashy so I decided after 14 years it was time to leave.

I was enjoying it till a post I randomly clicked on showed a screenshot of a post I made here and that post was apparently removed by mods...

Assuming it was the one I said everything is going to Putin's plan--- tank the economy, billionaires lap it up, the US lose allies, and the next step is just taking orders right from Russia. Apparently that was "controversial"? Lol

Lemmy more. The default comment sorting means there's a chance that my comment will be at the top and therefore discussion can happen. On reddit, past a certain amount of comments, I don't bother. No one will see it.

I left and blocked reddit on my network after the landed gantry debacle. I'm not banned but I might as well be.

Not yet. I did get a comment removed but successfully appealed for saying what citizens do to kings. The appeal was me saying it was in a historical context, of course ;)

Like many here, I left reddit during the whole API debacle, and I was doing really good about avoiding reddit for a while, but there's way less people here, way less communities, and while yes, I could start the communities I'd like to see on Lemmy, I just don't think there are enough users to have engaging conversations yet. For that reason, I maintain my reddit account, so that I can have those conversations and connections that I can't get here. I hope it changes some day and we can grow our numbers here.

I Was banned a while ago for hate speech against cops. I lurk sometimes with libreddit
