Never been banned from anywhere nor do I intend to. I never made a Reddit account because of that scandal where a really talented artist got banned because the mods thought their art was AI generated even though the artist kept proving it wasn’t. What happened to Reddit since has only cemented my pre existing disdain for that site.

I decided to join social media early last year and I remember Lemmy was on one of the lists of new social media sites, so I joined it and have been having a great time ever since! 😃

I left Reddit after they bent the knee to M*sk.

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

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

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.

On average I think I end up spending more time on reddit, but I contribute to and like this community a lot more.

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

I’ve had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I’ve had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I’m still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media

Got banned for saying Luigi was right

I’m boycotting American products.

I switched during the API fiasco. Most of my browsing is from mobile and I refused to use the crappy official app. Content had been declining in quality anyway, so I didn’t feel that strongly about it.

I just find reddit inconvenient nowadays.

Still unbanned even though I blacked out /r/piracy then actively pushed our community here until the only people left in /r/piracy were the bootlickers who wanted to reopen it and continue as usual. I never go to reddit anymore except to agitate for moving to lemmy.

I’ve been banned for saying pro luigi or similar stuff, but since I am not attached to my account I just make a new one. The most annoying part of getting banned is just resubbing to your preferred subreddits. I prefer lemmy now days anyway and it is nice to see familiar usernames now and then and I don’t get as annoyed seeing constant liberalism. I still use Reddit for some things like really niche subjects, questions, or hobbies and people can be genuinely helpful in some subreddits ngl.

I also find the moderation here to be much fairer and more protective of vulnerable groups.

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