Genuinely curious
Neither, but I’m fed up with Reddit regardless. Open Source and self hosted is something I prefer.
And if everybody praises the alternatives, but nobody is using it, we’ll never get shit done.
I was never banned; I deleted my account as I was frustrated with the increasing surveillance. Someone had mentioned Lemmy in one of the degoogling or privacy subs and I decided to check it out. It reminded me a lot of how the internet used to be before it was filled with bots, so I stuck around.
This was it for me too
The only reason Lemmy was started in the first place is because Reddit banned communists and their communities. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Lemmy
ive been on lemmy for almost 6 years, jesus christ, i feel old
I had 4 accounts and they banned all of them for inciting violence. I said Donald Trump is a pedophile and deserves to be in prison.
They don’t like anti trump people.
Same here. Calling out the pedophile in chief is evidentially a big no no on Reddit.
I came here because I didn’t like the censorship (of others, not me) on Reddit. I stayed because I love the lack of advertising.
Everyone on here seems chill and people on reddit often bait you to try to get you banned or poison the well in discussions , it’s just a shit site that’s tonedeaf man
I left because they got rid of 3rd party apps, was never banned.
The ones with their cake day around may and a bit later in 2023 are most likely here because of the API changes. After that its mostly alt accounts on a new instance, privacy reasons and bans
That’s me!
I’ve never been banned from reddit (that I know of).
I left reddit three years ago next month duringsthe API drama. Since then the only time I’ve been to reddit (not logged in) is when it comes up in a search result.
Based the volume of people asking this question over and over… I guess way more than anyone thinks.
I got permabanned for wishing death on billionaires too many times.
I used Reddit for years as a reader without ever posting or commenting. When alternative front ends were ditched, I switched to Lemmy which I really like. Was never banned.
I left 3 years ago, when they killed RiF
Nah, i left when they killed whatever mobile app i was using to not have to deal with their shitty website
My 20 year account got banned for using Apollo sideloaded. I still go there but let’s be honest, lemmy has far better memes
